STATEMENT

The living world surges with a network of intuitive messages that move continuously between all matter and beings: between molecules, plants, animals, wind, stars and galaxies. These are messages transmitted and received through a kind of telepathy, an inner knowing, undetectable by human machines, devices or rational systems. Intuitive messages travel through time and space in all directions, flowing easily between past, present, and future, carrying feeling, carrying information, saying hello, tuning the vibrations -– the music -– that holds life together.

I make art to be with, to enter the slipstream of dialog going on everywhere always. Through being with, I feel connected, in-relationship with all life. Art is the context in humancentric culture where intuition, embodiment and emotions, called “creativity,” have room. And so kinship slides into the humancentric world as art.
