“Wheels”
I began this series in the winter of 2011. The 12 oil pastels represent a year’s cycle, seasons, months, natural time. I was inspired by time, weather, emotions, patterns in nature. I approached each painting openly without expectations, allowing each to unfold.
The series was exhibited in Quebec in 2012, and included woven baskets, containers and cordage that I made during this time from living natural materials. The patterns that I see in nature have a direct correlation to what is going on inside me. Containers or catchments, both physical and ephemeral, are a weaving of inner processes.
