24″ round

As Chaos and Order move farther and farther apart in polarity on the seesaw, the weight on the fulcrum becomes heavier and heavier until the seesaw board snaps with the unbearable pressure. †The fish/rocket subject depicts the next level of consciousness that humanity is moving into, the ìChrist Consciousness.î †The image is symbolic of a fish that breathes out of the water, relating to ìwaking up,î or enlightenment. †To finish the piece, I have created another seesaw at the top of the fishís head, with the tip as the new fulcrum. †Chaos and Order are close together, balancing easilyÖ.and then perhaps moving apart again for the next awakening of humanity into even higher places.

 

“Wisdom is offered to me through shamanic training and world traveling is my inspiration. Making art pieces on concepts such as ‘forgiveness’ or ‘balance’ is my study of relationships with life. 

As I work my pieces, I can meditate on the aspects of the concept and work these perceptions into the construction for an evolving understanding of the original concept. I work with many materials; from hand-dyeing fabrics to painting, sewing, beading, collage.  

As I cultivate a piece, concepts develop further into the abstract, to ultimately create a story that is personal to me, but still open to free interpretation.”
