I have always loved the feel of fine leather and am intrigued by it as a sculptural medium. For me, creating mythic creatures from materials that have had a previous life is ultimately appropriate. I honor the stories embedded in the materials, be they leather, stone, old textiles, or beads, and honor the sources. May they encourage your sense of adventure and the creation and sharing of story.

My metaphor for these times. May we all Hang on, speak up, listen to each other, gather in community, and use our creativity to move forward! Hope to see you in Northampton May 24-26 at the Paraise City Arts Festival (if not on the streets before then!)
