dance in front of the projector- pretending they're stage lights


Leaving the studio one night, 11:30pm











The last Mandala I drew in VT
As the practice of drawing mandalas stands, it is a way to center oneself, creating the space for channeling to occur. a motum for something greater than the self to emerge or land. Channeled above is a dipiction of a particular energy that was working within me at the time.
-The lion that apeared to me-
as in Nietzsche's 3 Phases of metamorphosis
drawn in the fashion of a Epiphyllum oxypetalum flower. Explained to me as the inner battle everyone must go through when they've followed their feather to the trap door. This became a reminder to me of the transformation I endured during those 18 days in VT.

Epiphyllum oxypetalum, blooming at home this past summer in mid july 8 months before the very hand holding this precious flower delivered to me the news.
-Life changes fast-
-Life changes in an instant-
The night before open studios 7:45pm, I didnt plan to paint. I was walking over to just check on some paintings from the day, when I saw this grouping (arrangment) of debris initally spotted when I first arrived at the residency. I rember I saw it on the second day in Johnson thinking that it felt charged, but it managed to get covered up by all the snow until finally we had a few sunny days, which revealed to me again the arrangment of debris I then knew was meant for me.
This was the call to action.


Writing became a frequent tool for centering:
Presented above with a dried Epiphyllum oxypetalum flower, dried orange skins peeled in spirals and an anatomically pinned orange skin peeled in a butterfly shape stuck with rusty exacto-knife blades.
