Dancing Grinders

This is representational of an animal gracefully leaping over potential death. The antique meat grinders are suspended beneath the wooden body with small flecks of turquoise resting on top of them. When hung away from a wall, the pieces all move playfully beneath the creature due to the give of the wire coil at the top.

Snail Synapses

 
Snail paths in the sands of Peaks Island, Maine.

February 2010

I did this painting while imagining what my synapses might look like during the actual creative process itself. Watching snails slowly making their way across the sand in Maine a couple years later, I was amazed by how similar the patterns were.

Tarnished 1962

To represent peaceful balance, I wrapped the top piece of Nova Scotia driftwood in seaweed which I soaked then dried to conform to its shape. Beneath are two delicate pieces from Cape Cod secured with coconut shell beads, and at the bottom hangs a penny from 1962.

For the Birds

Without meaning to, I started collecting all these quadrilaterals containing perfect circles. They decreased perfectly in size and reminded me of tiered bird houses. The top one is Nova Scotia driftwood, and the others are rusted metal bolts and washers suspended from wire filament.
