A collection of eight pieces, originally created during a time when I lived in England and discovered a new way of seeing. I had never considered myself an artist, but that season cultivated seeing the ordinary in a new light, and eventually, an urge to create and share what I found.
Maybe it’s my personality, or evolutionary bias, but my usual outlook was to seek obvious beauty and good over the insignificant. And maybe I was under the influence of Mary Oliver, or the residual magic fungi from a trip to the Netherlands, but seemingly by accident, I began to see more and more through the lens of wonder, of awe. The most mundane, the most ordinary, sometimes the most sad, suddenly felt worthy of my unconditional attention.
This new practice was, and has been, a rediscovering of how to see my world with choice—a shift in perception. This series is a distillation of that new way of seeing, translated into shape, line, and space.
