            The following body of work was made during a Residency at Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass, CO.  Before arriving at the Ranch, I went through a year of transformations, from finishing school to traveling through Europe.  I began and ended many relationships throughout this time.  I began to question the physical and mental properties of a relationship, more specifically a relationship based on love.  The more I discussed with others, I found similarities in our stories.  This work is a reflection of my studies and shows my need to return to a more tactile process in order to work through these questions.  I chose to use bird imagery and the changing of seasons to convey the emotions we feel and the body language we reveal in order to show the temperance of these relationships.
