Humus II

Humus II is the continuation of the conversation I have with my daily hikes throughout the Sangres and the surrounding areas of Santa Fe, NM. Steeped in ancient history and the notion of being enamored by living on planet earth, I am visually conversing on what is underfoot, next to me and beyond my gaze. In the twenty first century we are more tuned to taking note what is happening in the environment, wherever that is, is a direct connection to the weather of our times. At this moment in history, time is swallowed quickly with little reflection, contemplation, quietness, and spaciousness. In turn, those are the qualities I strive to bring through my artwork. For me, navigating time is imperative to open up to nature where there is no agenda, just being, and being receptive and listening through the landscape. It is multi layered and takes on worlds within worlds. Being a Buddhist practitioner, the inner and outer are inseparable, all conditions are impermanent, which is freedom and miraculous that we have these experiences at all, being a human.
