Reading Circles
Early memories of sitting crossed-legged in reading circles, teachers reading picture books full of wonder to young children captivated by adventure. Just as our imaginations overflowed, the words have spilled out of this book too.
Circles of enchantment, memories sewn together in haphazard ways, stream of consciousness and delight.
Book, paper, cigar box, thread, waxed linen thread, beads. 14"x52"x6". 2015.

Between the Stars and Me, An Explosion Book
My second attempt at making an explosion book.
The title has something to do with all the spirits or saints who are between the stars and me.
They move closer and further away as they want.

Hope and Unity
I finished this book in the fall of 2020 when our world was in chaos. The spiral's symbolic power is in its evocation of an archetypal path of growth, transformation and psychological or spiritual journey. Just what we need.
On the back side of each page is a collage of a heart. Love.
