For Inquiries and to Purchase

The Mama Pacha sculpture series is an outcome of my exploration of the Divine Feminine. I am inspired by Paleolithic and Neolithic expressions of being interconnected and embodying the Divine Feminine. I pay homage to these ancestors. Mama Pacha is a representation of receiving energy and guidance from realms of benevolence through the crown and uplifted arms of exultation and grounding this creative force in Gaia. One side of Mama Pacha is pregnant in her fertile creative nature. The other side of the sculpture is more androgynous and exemplifies the manifestation of our empowered compassionate heart. The hips have a carved design that represents both portals of collective knowing, our primordial essence of being, and the collaborative nature of our interdependence with the super organism of bees.

Forgiveness Totem Series

A Zero Waste Art Project

The Forgiveness Totem series is a blending of trash art and ceramics. It is a commentary on packaging and being responsible for my waste. My intention is to create art to interact with and remember our inter-dependency with the natural world. These sculptures are born from my efforts of “zero waste” and creating art from what would otherwise be landfill. This has been an intimate relationship with the trash I generate and a process of discerning how I can reduce this impact on the environment. I have incorporated over two years of my debris into these sculptures, and I have changed some of my consumption habits because of facing the dilemmas of this kerfuffle in my lifestyle.

The creative process included organizing plastic and other waste into armatures. I wrapped the armatures in chicken wire and then applied Portland cement to the armatures. I then rolled out slabs of clay and covered the armatures with these slabs. When the clay was leather hard, I cut the clay into the shapes of the tiles. The tiles were individually designed and sculpted. After glazing and firing the tiles the tiles were thin set on the armature and the mosaic was grouted.

This video depicts the first stages of building the armatures.

Sales from the Forgiveness Totem Series directly fund activities in harmony with ancient ancestral teachings of interdependency and Sacredness of ALL life.

Forgive me for the ways in which I have been forgetful and disconnected to myself and the life around me. Forgive me for my over consumption when you have not received enough to thrive. Forgive me for the waste I have generated and help me to make better choices in how I nourish myself and interact with my environment. Please help me to be in harmony with the natural world and have my hand print bigger than my footprint. Please guide me in what is mine to do.
