About the work:
"Moss and Other Things" is a piece about the vibrancy and persistence of life and the coexistence and entwinement of that vibrancy with decay and death. In life's awe invoking moments of transcendence I bump up against the vastness of all we do not understand. We are all soft earthly creatures, simultaneously fragile and ferocious, part of gentle, gorgeous, expansive landscapes as well as the molten, violent core of the Earth. This work offers a meditation on the coexistence of creation and destruction, of arrivals and departures, and the ways in which our bodies and minds are also the sites of these dichotomies.
It's also my way of grieving, meeting a need for connection, and an attempt to honor the rigorous effort and joy of living.
