The Spiral series was a deep dive and immersion. An entire season of devotion to my Spirit, nature, solitude, healing, and basket weaving.
I intentionally cultivated a reciprocal relationship with the elements of wild nature in daily practice while camped on a hidden creek that became a nourishing companion and friend.
It wasn’t a matter of imagining or envisioning the baskets and then creating them. As the artist, I found that the materials I gathered, worked together through me, and the baskets emerged, wowing even me.
They are the result of my intimacy with the nature I was living in, the depth of intimacy with myself, my spirit and the creek.
No coincidence that each of these have a spiral.
Contributing factors being my study, healing and work with holographic kinetics, the holographic and fractal nature of life itself, transmuting and understanding trauma. Turning it into beauty. Into medicine.
That beauty and medicine came through these baskets and I offer them to you.

COLLABORATIONS 2019

Back in 2017, a mutual friend introduced John Mahkewa, a Tewa Hopi Artist and Elder, and I, via email.
She wrote; “I wanted to introduce you because you both have such a special gift in common- you have come back to us from death. You were also both on deep spiritual journeys before and after. I hope you can talk by phone and someday you can meet in person. If I am not there, I look forward to hearing all about it. Please let me know if I can support your meeting in any way.” It took us 2 years, as John lives in Yuma AZ and I….well….have been driving all over the map, but we committed to meeting and have finally come to be in the same place….camped under a tree in Sebastopol. It feels a bit like we’ve taken up where we left off from another lifetime. We’ve been collaborating making drums and rattles. They’ll be posted for sale soon! With deep appreciation and love to our dear friend who has since passed, for her foresight and introduction. We honor and dedicate the fruits of our meeting to her. |
