My studio challenge: just go in your studio and knock out 30 pairs of flowers. Easy. Not so it turns out. This exercise in discipline has turned into an enlightening and challenging personal exploration. Culturally, emotionally, symbolically flowers are used to celebrate, grieve, flirt, honor...
Seeds, petals, pistils, leaves, roots can be medicinal. Flowers can be quiet and humble or outrageously stunning. The earrings below, the pieces in process on my bench and the drawings growing in my sketchbook are healing, guiding and rebuilding a part of me that needs to dig deeper. My intention is to translate my awe and reverence for plants that sustain all life, all creatures- including us.
