The exhibition is on view through November 30th
“It began on a sunny day in Mexico, February 2022. My shadow emerged in front of me, perfectly placed. And suddenly there she was in the clear water of the lagoon inviting me. My breath caught; who was this creature? My doppelganger, a creative beckoning. And I felt enamored and I responded to the call: yes.
This discovery led to the Water Nymph, Weirdo Goddess and Little Love Stories series, all tied together in a surrealist imagining of my curiosity about our relationship with nature (and each other) and how we communicate, the sensual connections. If we pay attention, the Weirdo Goddess and Water Nymphs emerge and appear as apparitions of nature offering small gestures, gifts and amulets of protection we receive via portals like water, plants, animals, rest and daydreams.”
