“ Framing nature is not art”,   
Glynn Williams 
Nature is beautiful. For it to become art, I believe, there needs to be a process of transformation.

What does it take to heal when we are broken?
To find a way out of darkness. 
To find our way out of the woods when we feel lost?

I have been drawn to nature and it’s incredible beauty since I could walk. I am moved by stones, wood and leaves, in their abundance of repetition and perfection- something no matter how skilled I become i find impossible to emulate. In this exhibition I will allow nature to enter my space and work, inform and direct me. Nature just like art has the ability to move us, to inspire, guide, and inform us.

Part of the new body of work that I will show is based on one song “Into the Woods”, by Fay Wilhagen. 18 sentences that I feel sum up what it feels like to get consumed by darkness and loss and the journey it takes find to hope. ​For 13 years I have worked with and been inspired by Maiko Nishino. For the past year I have been working with her in her studio, Into the Woods has been played as she has danced and I have drawn.

My desire to create this new work comes from a place of gratitude. When everything fails or hurts the process of transformation continues miraculously to transgress the darkness. I am not necessarily completely Out Of the Woods yet, but I do believe that we all can find a way out - and a way home.
