Tie Me to the Earth 




Filmed in Berlin Germnany
  1. In this piece I use powerful imagery of two dual realities that exist simultaneously to highlight the complexity and beauty of the human experience. Through themes of play, innocence, destruction and communion, this installation should raise questions about the fate of the next generation, spark reverence for the generations that came before us, and ultimately cultivate the human compassion that is so deficient today.

On Creation 

creativity is one of fthe worlds most magical things. The embodiment of universal love. Creation is life force. As an artist I get to birth something beautiful every day out of my psychic womb. I feel nearly overwhedme by the possibility of it all. little pieces of my soul just itching to be freed, made manifest. Its addictive.

creation in any form puts you in the shoes of God. weather it is the sculpter and his stone, the painter and her canvas, the mother and her child. To create is to channel the divine.
