Mobiles
Making mobiles is like chasing rainbows. Always changing, they are magical as they create flowing stories from the parts used to make them: found and re-purposed objects, beads, sculpted figures in paper clay and fired clay with fish line and wire. They move, tease our static perceptions: artist, viewer, together/apart, never the same.

Gimme Shelter: Outside and Inside, 2017
Inside it's warm, there's a basket with plenty. There are blankets and cuddles; Santa comes regularly. It's home, Home, HOME.
Outside it's cold or way too hot and hard and scary. Dirty. Home—less. Looked through, if at all. Forgotten.
Death comes wherever we are. Inside & Outside WE are EQUAL.
Look What Fell Through My Fingers, 2017-18, Mixed media with poem strips
A wish-me-well swim-away fish//A lock miss-ing the key, but//with a heart for a start//a snake above the scene//with a wither-ing gleam and a hiss//insists lick the imposs-ible//lolli-pop whistle clean.
Color Lines- Black and White and Brown and.... Mixed media, 2018
Humans make a big deal about separating each other according to color lines. Nature doesn't care.
