A photographic series of natural ink sculptures in various stages of their beautiful impermanent life.




Change. The urge to keep time from moving forward. Body and mind moving forward. Watching momentum. When it feels like gravity is no longer a friend. While it floats toward the surface. I float toward the surface. Change. Penetrating while slowly passing. Consistent and constant. This is in my children. I am the teacher. Yet another unfortunate beautiful discovery.

Color grid with Elderberry, Yarrow, and another color that has been resting without a name, for months. Maybe even a year.



Cross Section Reflection

creating color with celosia

realizing that in just a short lifetime

she grows layers of skin

with space in between

for thirsty pushing

of tentacles

searching for a common place

with space in between

in the hope

of finding a

gold nugget

in the beauty of brown
