Graphite on Kitakata paper, beeswax, mounted on Simili paper.

This piece has a simple composition, made up of an outstrecthed hand seemingly balancing a dove flying downwards. Both elements are in a hazy, star studded and nebulous setting. The hand and the dove hold opposing sides of the composition and the point where they touch focuses our attention on their delicate contact. The hand and the dove appear as reflections of one another, as if, though their form is not symmetrical, their essence is. The piece is a poetic statement about our search for inner meaning. I am interested in how we can summon a sense of the sacred in the mundane gestures of the everyday. This piece seeks to distill the sense of wonder that comes upon us when we recognize the ways in which we are interconnected with the beings and things that surround us. The point of interest in the piece is that subtle space between the hand and the dove, that subtle space between "I" and "You", where reflection becomes possible and integration of one into the other can take place.
