Life is complex—rife with underlying forces. A visual narrative must be read with a different kind of attention—one that sees into the nature of things. Because I believe both these things to be true, I tell what I know with materials rather than with words. We interact with mysteries far larger than ourselves. This work offers a small reminder of that and extends an invitation to each viewer to create a narrative from a personal perspective, imbuing the grand scale of life with individual meaning.
