welcome!
I AM
glad our paths have crossed! this space houses various art and musings drawn from my ongoing exploration of life, creation, consciousness and self.
______________________________________
In exploring my inner landscape, I gain a deeper understanding of the world around me. In observing the world around me, I uncover truths about myself.
Through mixed media collage, I discuss themes of introspection, intuition, transpersonal love, the poignancy of the human experience and the interconnectedness of everything. Alongside these topics, I am engaged in an ongoing exploration of womanhood and its many facets.
I create colorfully riotous scenes with recycled paper and found objects that are inspired by the wild beauty of nature. A forest at first glance is unkempt, asymmetrical, lush with life and also death. A closer look reveals countless interdependent relationships that point to universal intelligence. There is value and meaning in the mess. I hope my collages invite viewers to take a closer look, and to continue to discover new elements, dimensions and symbols.
always,
emily
