Origin is centered on
the transitional nature of motherhood.
Incorporating the passage of time, from springtime to winter and plump
to wilted. The work is a still life
response to the tender, and sometimes sticky, experience of birth and caring
for a family. Recurring botanical elements echo springtime and the vernal
freshness of childhood, when all is to be experienced and explored. Objects are
presented as offerings, like souvenirs or artifacts of an era, sometimes
directly, sometimes as temporary sculptures to evoke a feeling rather than
clear meaning. The imagery is a
vignette into domestic life and a window of time in motherhood.
