Melting Moulin, Mixed Media

Writing Twilight, Mixed Media

"Glacial ice is cold, colorful and melting. The thawing process is ruinous and gorgeous, inspiring and catastrophic. The contradictory feeling of being swept away by beauty while comprehending the devastation is the motivation for this work.  

This work is about the balance between liquid and frozen, salty and fresh; what is lost by melting and what will be revealed. My hope is that awareness turns into action. 

The two pieces included in this exhibition are Ice Melting: Moulin and Ice Writing: Twilight.

The Ice Melting series is about the compelling forms created by the melting process. The Ice Writing series addresses what will be revealed as ice thaws where messages appear in a cross-cultural record of our linguistic symbols, showing us our history and communicating ways to move forward.

Mixed media materials include ink, acrylic, glass, sand, plastic, glitter, salt and sugar."
