the seed - origins



The origins of ideas (seed of a work) are bridges of thought -
often the very private underpinnings of a piece are not spoken, but somehow present nonetheless. I recognize that my work develops with dialogue, weaving together dissonant ideas, contributions, collaborations. Follows are pieces of conversations that have informed my present work, The Garden of Earthly Delights.


wait there is more, i forgot about satan.
he told me he thought i wore my soul on the out side.
and i think he is right.
i think my soul has been worn out and torn and stained.
(in conversation with Ember Erebus)


what if our spirit communicated like a spider that spins it's silk out of its own body?

(in conversation with Lynn Hudson)

what do we do when our third order is threadbare and stained?

plant a garden.
seed it with orchids.
(in conversation with Jason Knight)


bioart makes the surreal real
