Abstract
A mark inspires imagination, drives some curiosity to follow the intuitive. It's a glorious curiosity that reveals emerging images & finally a work of art. A thing that has no words captures the impulse to create. This collection was inspired by poetry, the old giving way to the new, footprints of courage & resilience: sort of a soul wabi sabi.
