i frequent rivers
dream of horses
run with greyhounds
breathe with the bats at twilight
my work is a mirror i hold up
to the humor and heartbreak
i experience and witness in life.
it allows me to explore
the spaces and connections
between my reality and my dreams,
between being human and being animal,
between desire and intimacy.
my creative practice is a home that shelters me
wherever i go, wherever i am.
it threads through all aspects of my life.
