My practice unfolds through the body’s listening ~ a porous exchange with place, where sensation becomes thought,and the tactile opens into the ineffable.With each meeting of hand and clay,we enter a conversation older than words:a tender reciprocity between earth and self,between what is formed and what is felt. There is no fixed path ~ only the unfolding,the quiet immediacy of discovery.Form reveals itself through gesture,through surrender to the moment’s quiet insistence.In these movements, I trace a cartography of becoming,where making is a form of devotion,and matter itself remembers spirit. My work is shaped by the praxis of Embodied Imagination® ~a descent into the dream’s terrain,where the alchemical and the imaginal entwine andanimate beings exist as a constellation of many voices.Within this space of reverie,the act of creation becomes an invocation:a way of touching the unseen,and yielding to form as it emerges.
