I
drag my art tools everywhere, and run to my studio as often as possible in
order to hold onto things I love because I know everything, everyone, and every
moment is fleeting. Above all else, I fear that I have a bad memory! I can't
even remember, without notes, what I was doing this day last week, last month
or last year. By tracking and documenting the details of a day, I feel more
whole. I am marked in a spot and it is proof I exist. It must be different for
the collector.
Taking
notice of details and highlighting something artistically brings out beauty and preserves
an experience.
For
the viewer, art can be where you feel welcomed and where you can pause on your own
journey.
When
my mother was moving out of her home and we had crated, packed, loaded into
storage almost everything, she spontaneously gave several of my works (from her
collection) to the moving men. The pieces, made in my youth, felt singular and
rare to me... connecting me to a timeline. They were posts for me to check in
with whenever I visited her. They were also nicely framed and she thought, in
her usual generous manner, that the young men could use some good art.
