Working on New Story...

Sun Wheel

The process of finding the next story to pursue is not hard...there is much grist for the mill, especially now.
Finding the proper vehicle that will resonate is the challenge. 
I worried that Cassandra would not find an audience, but there was a lot of lively discussion over the paintings and the altered book last night at Rhythmix Cultural Center. Thanks to d'arci Bruno for including my work in the show.

Isis Searches for Osiris

On to the next thing...There are several voices calling to me but i am still waiting for the path to unfold...

Books hold information, stories, feelings, and history. Artists create new experiences by altering old books or binding new materials together in ways that take these beloved everyday objects into the realm of Magic!
