Looking to See, Seeing to Know employs craft as a method of communication manifested in a series of metal and ceramic talismanic objects serving as physical metaphors for familial relationships and the human condition of giving and receiving love.

Material meditations vow to look closer, to see the wounded child within, to reach knowing—the pursuit of knowing the self, the other, in authentic, vulnerable fullness as the most profound expression of unconditional love. Actualizations of love having existed, permeating through memories previously gripped by the overwhelm of pain, reconcile the severance of the body from the spirit, individual from the collective, intuition from logic.

I find my most sacred and true being living within; I call out to her, and we return to each other, clasped together in eternal embrace.
