Aquaria / Waterbearer #2

The Aquaria series. . . grew from the plant forms that surround me in my perennial garden as well as the need to water them.  Because I rely on the vessel as my core metaphor, I draw on tradition.  I see my pieces as a personal restatement of a very old meaning in the present.  They are expressions of my desire for order, harmony, 'rootedness,' and a little grace in this world that feels as though it is flying apart. –Artist statement
