It always has been YOU!

As an artist, I draw inspiration from you, not just people I read about, research, or see on screens - people I connect with in real life, such as my family, friends, neighbours, crafters, farmers, technicians, collaborators, curators, managers, directors, baristas, event organisers, historians, sportspeople, writers, sailers, musicians, artists, parents, teachers, photographers, drivers, community leaders, activists… the list goes on. 

Real people, exchanging our experiences face to face. I enjoy learning about your passion, whatever that might be. Last week, I connected with someone who is obsessed with lichens, and now I, too, am obsessed with lichens (not as much as I am obsessed with straw). Passion is contagious. 

My art inspiration stems from these strong connections, from nature, location, history, and how we all hold space together at the same time. I believe the way to connect with ourselves is through other people and our environment. 

These are just a few snippets of valuable connections I have made in the last couple of months while preparing for The Mother Lode exhibition. It extends beyond this post. Thank you to everyone with whom my paths crossed. This would have never come to life without You.
