Personal thought and its relationship to our environment is what has influenced my current body of work. Our mind goes through constant analysis, judgment, questioning and reflection as we digest our surroundings. Friends, family, education, literature, and media play into our stream of conscious and affect not only the way we think but the way we perceive things. From our waking moments our mind engages and generates a constant torrent of internal language. Fortunately there are moments of peace, of calm, of joy instigated by images of beauty, simplicity, or awe. These moments are precious, and most likely maintain our sanity. These images, whether from a childhood experience, a natural artifact, a simple moment in time are able to release us from our mindÈs constant analysis and invite us into lifeÈs simplicity.
