"Kissing, we share one breath, open the sealed fortress of our body to our lover. We shelter under a warm net of kisses. We drink from the well of each other's mouths." Diane Ackerman, A Natural History of The Senses. Page 109.
Artist Statement:
Music has always been a major part of my life. I started writing songs when I was just a child, but in 2016 at the age of 23 was when I wrote and recorded my first full song. I use songwriting as a coping mechanism to deal with the heartbreaks and/or good love that life brings me. Every time I song write I pull inspiration from what is happening in my life in the current moment. When thinking about kissing, I was thinking about a relationship in which we haven't kissed, but I thought about the what ifs of if we did and what the outcome of that could be.
Title: Altar Things
Photographs of Still Life Set Ups
"It's not unusual to spend half an hour choosing a sprig of baby's breath, pink lupine, one stem of bluebell-shaped campenella (whose stem oozes white sap-almost always a sign of poison), one orange-red rose called "Bing Crosby," one stem of fuchsia dahlia, a red-and-whtie, daisy-shaped miniature dahlia, and a flamboyantly speckled red-and-yellow Pavonia tigridia which looks like an iris that married a day lily and went to a fiesta (its name means "tiger-faced peacock," which is wonderful enough, but I've always called it a "Mexican hat dance" instead). Diane Ackerman, A Natural History of The Senses. Page 88.
Artist Statement:
Being in nature always brings me peace. The feeling of a rocks vibration in my hand or on my forehead always heightens my sense of awareness. Plants always bring me joy, and bring great energy to a space. I enjoy creating altar spaces in my living areas because to me it brings balance and good vibes to an area. With the right intentions as I create these altar spaces I can put good thought into the universe that will hopefully come back to me. I fully believe in the power of positive thinking, and with my altars I try to think positively with every placement of each item. I've been collecting plants and rocks ever since childhood and my collection is getting bigger and bigger. I currently work at a crystal shop in downtown St. Augustine, FL, so it is easy for me to bring crystals home with me.
