When the earth holds you presents a series of intimate collaborations with landscape.

Where paper votives and performative prints respond to the rhythms of the year.

The moon is a mirror of the sun, as the seasons our testament to time.

Here is the lesson:

The circle is an unknowable form.

Treat the earth as an apothecary, where poetic cosmologies emerge through the remembered rituals of making.

The elements used for orientation:

mineral

pigment

water

sunlight

natural dye

Perennial – Spring. Plenty-Summer. Enlighten – Autumn. Celestial -Winter.

‘make a poem that does not disturb
the silence from which it came’.

How to Be a Poet (to remind myself) - Wendell Berry

My desire to limit the material impact on the planet is born from my intuitive practice; a meditation on materials and materials as meditation.

I explore our somatic relationship to the physical realm within a palette of light and time.
