The churn and movement of the world energizes, enchants, and terrifies me at the same time. It can feel difficult to find a place in my body, heart, and mind to gather together the overwhelming onslaught of life and simply process. Engrossed in light, texture, color and line I can find that place.

Images can convey a synthesis of experience, thought, and emotion I am eager to share and discover. The act of creating sometimes unifies my connection to the real and imagined: past, present, and future. This practice of fusion is deeply challenging energetic play as well as a grounding reflection. It is a great privilege to create and share

New plans for works in transparency and light are coming together. More soon… Rachel
