This piece takes visual cues from coral and anemone and some found specimen along the coast. It is about heart- the ways we conceal it, protect it, wind it up tight. For me it happened from great loss in my family, the falling away or relationships, the disappointment from being unsupported. That tightness and closing of our hearts can happen for so many reasons- trauma, loss, arguments, missed opportunity. However, if we are careful to hold the kernel of hope deep within us, we can once again awaken. That place deep within us and from the love of others is a never-ending wellspring. This piece is about that love from our relationships, from within ourselves, and shining back deeply from the universe that softens us so we may open and bloom.
The two large vessels in this show, ๐๐ฏ๐ง๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฅ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐ด ๐๐ต ๐๐ช๐ญ๐ญ and ๐๐ฏ๐ณ๐ข๐ท๐ฆ๐ญ ๐๐บ ๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ณ๐ต were conceived recently on a visit to the beaches in Santa Cruz, nestled in the intricate geologies there. Panther Beach specifically is home to the largest sedimentary injection deposits in the world, with wavy laminated sandstone. The large rock face cradles the beach. It is private and beautiful and also dangerous. The rock has been pounded with erosion, revealing incredible movement and beauty in the harder stone elements.
