This piece is a pondering of what remains when life and spirit leave - broken twigs and branches that once were lush and green; shells that now shine iridescent but were once home to tiny creatures; a jar of ashes that contains all that was once a friend. And all of these things carry the spark of what once was, and we in turn bring that spark forward in time as we hold in our hearts those that we have loved and lost.

United States
I grew up mostly in Minnesota, and often spent my summers at the lake cabin with my grandparents. My grandmother taught me quilting and crochet, gardening, and especially, taught me her busy-ness and her active hands. At the same time, my grandfather taught me building and remodeling as I helped him by holding boards and handing him nails. With that process, I developed the awareness that with time and effort, anything can be created with human hands. As a child and teenager, I spent a great deal of time wandering Minnesota’s country roads and woods, which inspired a deep love of the land and a connection to the earth. In particular, my early connection to Minnesota’s lakes and rivers helped me develop a wordless sense of flow and the peace that it brings. I spent two decades in New York City, immersing myself in the arts and culture that thrive there. Two decades of a long distance courtship caused my eventual return to Minneapolis, which lost me a city that truly felt like mine, but gave me so much in return. My current body of carved wood wall pieces is both inspired by, and a result of the space, tools and materials available in Minnesota. It is work that harks back to my childhood and the lessons of my grandparents - work that is pieced together almost quilt-like, and built and carved with human hands.
