Creation, destruction, and re-creation
“The studio is a place for me to explore creativity at its core – making, trying new ideas, perfecting old ones, and most of all, letting go.”

As with any exploration and discovery, it is only the starting point for new ideas and new questions. Even the best research finds more new questions than it finds answers, but these new questions are more focused, more accurate, and more informed questions, leading to ever better questions.
The seeking of knowledge never ceases but it changes based on what it finds. Some knowledge can be useful, some of it can improve the world. Yet some of it can make it more beautiful, and some of it can record our stories.
In creating a history of our past and imagining our future, we find ourselves in the present – the moment of creation, the birth of our past and the conception of our future.
“Yesterday rests HERE”
