Art, Activism and a Sense of Place Re-framed
My artwork has been about a sense of place, flows of nature, about water, what it does, where it goes, how it manifests, and what life would be without it. Place, memory, the artwork and my life has been multi-centered, an epoch of simultaneity, juxtaposition, near and far, side-by-side. My artwork has been about landscape and my relationship to it. It is a way of seeing the world.  My personal relationship to place has to do with how my history and relationship with a culture are formed.  The artwork is a memory which defines place.  For me space has become a physical, experimental component where culture and meaning is defined. I see land/earth in a larger view, not so much localized and recognized as picturesque but symbolic in ways which includes detail. It is a deeply embedded understanding of what is sensed and seen.
