A few months ago, I found myself on a ship
somewhere in the Pacific Ocean.
There was water all around as far as I
could see. Upwards was sky…. limitless space… cloud-filled by day and starry by
night. The rare Venus and Jupiter conjunction was playing out in the celestial
drama. I tracked the stars every night with an app on my phone - marveling
about how we circle around each other.
One cold, squally night I was on the top
deck looking over at rails at the dark wake. Only one other person was on deck
with me – a stranger. It was eerie and quiet and I felt vulnerable - and yet -
far away from any land I have known, I felt a euphoric sense of belonging.
This body of work is about that moment of connection
to being where you are.
Wherever you are.
