Created within the Collection of “Garden of Earth and Ocean”, and featured in a site-specific installation at the George Marshall Gallery in York, Maine, this wall hanging explores depth and movement using only natural dye techniques. It plays with an unlikely synthesis of parts and pieces from the land and from the intertidal zones, whirling into a dance
The Heart, like a flower, blooms open to the world
And all the world enters
Sometimes creating rifts, fissures, and scars
The Heart in the "Garden of Earth and Ocean" is an expression of aliveness,
of the darkness and light we all hold within ourselves.
We are, each, a garden of earth and ocean,
of liquid tides and fireflies,
moons, rustling leaves,
and many teeming, whirling, dancing thoughts, sensations, memories, and dreams.
