In the spring of 2023, the whispering call to move the color palate beyond black, white and red burst forth into this series. Time to express the aliveness of the interconnected web of all beings in vivid color!
Images would come to me that were full of rooting and myceliating, full of celestial bodies in a rotation dance, full of connectivity. I could see myself nested among many other kin, and all of us nested within a much larger design.
A friend shared with me a table of elements that was a launching pad for visually expressing the fact that we are all made of the same basic elements, and affirming the magical story (also based in fact) that we are made of star dust. All things and beings on this planet share that commonality.
