I try to make sense of place in a meditative reactionary way where the small moments are actually the big ones–while holding pure reverence for the passage of time.

The pieces represented on Platform are from an ongoing quest to “historically” record thoughts and interests as they merge with my imagination. Led by curiosity, awe, and wonder, I am energized by the translative process.

Note to self…make what you see from the inside where your imagination meets real space, yet all the while listen to the whispers.

My earliest “art memories” have to do with the tactile fascination of making marks, whether it was finger painting, drawing with sticks in the dirt or limestone chunks in the street. I loved looking for fossils and can remember so clearly breaking away layers of limestone, by my house, in search of time’s treasures. The natural world has always been my focus place and fuel for perpetual curiosity.

This changes regularly but now it would be any one of Seurat’s charcoal drawings.

I rarely listen to a song or artist on repeat. My playlist is eclectic and pulls from most genres and time periods. But with that being said, these past couple of weeks, I have replayed these few songs often. I listen to Brian Eno and Kinnship quite a bit also.

Rain —Dustin O’Halloran
Esja—Hania Rani
Luther—Kendrick Lamar, SZA

On my daily ocean walk I usually have music in one ear. I find it visually enhancing.

This is tacked up in my studio. I have no idea of the source: “No one is you and that is your power.”
