Artists Statement - In all my work the notion of a reliquary is prevalent. In my current work I am using the bird form as a vessel to encase and entomb images and objects.

This form evolved to symbolize paying attention to the subtle beauty and horror in life, both external and internal. I am interested in taking objects and putting them in a different context, making something precious out of something that might have otherwise been discarded.

These pieces evoke possibility and potential, as well as loss and decay. Acting as reminders of our connection to the rhythms of the earth and how the forces of the natural world resonate within us all both literally and metaphorically. Creating personal reliquaries that I hope the viewer will find their own connection to.
