A womb...a cage...the tangled web we weave...the unraveling of the tapestry of her fate... This image began with one paragraph I read in a book about the Crusades. There was a nun from Trier who had gone to support the Crusaders. She was taken hostage by the Turks during the siege of Nicaea. Upon her rescue, she confessed to “sexual misconduct” with a Turkish soldier who was now a captive. When it became clear that the the Crusaders planned to offer clemency to the Turks, her soldier wrote to her. He begged her not to abandon him and even offered to become a Christian to be with her. Of course, his first act as a Christian would have to have been to renounce his love for a nun... She ran away with him and was never seen again. Her name is lost to time. We only know of her because she was used at pulpits all over Europe as an example of why women, with their “lustful natures,” had no place at the front line of a “holy war” I see her as a woman who plucked at a loose thread of her fate and found she’d unwoven the tapestry her world so carefully made for her. I can’t stop wondering about her and where her story took her next. My friend Pilar gave me this title of Manifest because, as she poignantly explained, “the word means to become whole. To experience fruition. It is also the document that lists objects to be transported.”

I love telling stories. As a choreographer, poet, writer and conceptual photographer, I find my obsessively searching for the perfect image to spin my next tale. Much of my work revolves around the theme of spirituality, especially the feminine expression which I think is so often set aside. I use the archetypes and characters that capture my imagination. I'm drawn to form and shape and light. My photography has been shown in galleries in Wisconsin, Hawaii, Texas, California, Florida and Massachusetts.
