Silence

"Silence Will Serve" encaustic altered book, 2013

There is a mystery too deep for words;

the silence of the dead comes nearer to it,

Being wisest in the end. What word shall hold

the sorrow sitting at the heart of things,

The majesty and patience of the truth.

Silence will serve; it is an older tongue:

The empty room, the moonlight on the wall.

Speak for the unreturning traveller.

-John Hall Wheelock

"As the Crow Flies" encaustic and mixed media, 2013

Quilting- a narrative of heritage, the past and present, memory and emotion. Piecing together scraps of history that bring these layers of feeling together into a cohesive story, a mythical narrative that stems from the imagination and pushes its way into the world, becoming truth.

“It is the soul that sees; the outward eyes
Present the object, but the Mind descries.
We see nothing till we truly understand it.”

Depths

“It is there if you just close your eyes and breathe softly through your nose; you will hear the whispered message, for all landscapes ask the same question in the same whisper. 'I am watching you -- are you watching yourself in me?' Most travelers hurry too much...the great thing is to try and travel with the eyes of the spirit wide open, and not to much factual information. To tune in, without reverence, idly -- but with real inward attention. It is to be had for the feeling...you can extract the essence of a place once you know how. If you just get as still as a needle, you'll be there.”

― Lawrence Durrell, Spirit Of Place: Letters And Essays On Travel
