Exhibitions

Seduced, Gebert Contemporary, Santa Fe, New Mexico


I am seduced by pastel,

fragile and pure.

Velvet.

I rub, and my fingers tingle

working obsessively, vulnerable,

in my studio cocoon.

Bliss.

Burnish and stitch.

How can I pin down

cosmic dust with sacred thread?

Dualities float, anchored by delight:

Is it ritual

or distraction?

Does it hold hope

or tempt insanity?

Anticipation is ripe

but noise fills the air.

Sumptuous particles

devour rawness.

The hand knows how to thread the heart.
