                          These two figures were the first in a series called Gatherers. I thought I was
                          ready to end the series, but am rapidly coming to realize that this is just

                          the beginning of an exploration of ways I can use all of my beloved media
                          – fiber, wax, clay and paper – to creature small figures which reflect life’s
                          passages. Nuances discovered in the process of building these figures – the
                          twist of a branch, the tilt of a head – can endlessly change the meaning and
                          perception. Endings can change to beginnings with just one new glance at a
                          familiar object, revealing at an unexpected open path.






                          Dreamed some rain so I could sleep.
                          Dreamed the wind left handed
                          so I could part its mane and enter the dance
                          that carries the living, the dead, and the unborn
                          in one momentum
                          through the trillion gates.
