I've been removed from Oregon, California, Illinois and Ohio now I’m back where it all began, in the pacific north west with my parents and I feel like I am home again.

Twice removed from reality I search for shapes on my mind, to develop the unknown I keep my eyes open outside. Walking without talking I uncover organic wonders, hidden under the obvious I find my treasures. “Nature” a photo of frozen waters, pictures a profile with something being uncovered. The ripples reveal that although it is still, an energy is being developed here. Through the photo I see what’s real and store it to my memory. From my mind and through my hand I develop the “Shape” which came to me from the experience and what I had seen. Big shapes with curvy exterior on a plane of things that look familiar. I produced this into reality and now I see what the possibilities might be, I see the perspective and dimensional shifts, I begin to think how far I can take this. Removed again I’m able to think deeper and reveal a social connection with  “Space” and a physicality in “Object”. Looking familiar to the those that came prior I’ve twice removed shape from nature.
