Natural Materials

Part of the exhibition: Inner Volumes Unraveled, 2023

Mater Liber (Latin for Mother Book) explores trees as storytellers, using palm bark as texts, and symbols as metaphor, each piece is a view at cosmic time and ancestral knowledge.  Based on an imaginary excavation of an unearthed seminal codex , Mater Liber hints at civilizations before and beyond mankind, uniting past, present and future, emphasizing the continues thread of transformative energy and trees as carriers of knowledge. 
 
Mater Liber calls the viewer to awaken from humankind’s separateness from Mother Earth and looks ahead toward a return to harmony and balance. 

Each piece is a collage made with found pieces of palm trees, soft pastels, oil pastels, glue. Dimensions variable.

I strive to share art that puts others into relationship with their own creative, expressive selves, each other and our natural environment so that together, we can create a world of connection, care and meaning.
