"MERCURY AND THE LITTLE MYSTERIES/BONUS VERSION"
MERCURY AND THE LITTLE MYSTERIES was inspired by weekly three hour seaside treks at a bird refuge. Time and temperature combined to mark passages and discoveries. MERCURY I is a large oil painting which serves as a kind of base line for the small THE LITTLE MYSTERIES, small satellite egg tempera collages suspended in translucent bags as a temporal form of evidence of those fleeting moments.

WE SEA
My interest in mermaids came about ten years ago with an email announcement for an exhibition of paintings about Mami Wata, the African water goddess.
Coupled with the fact I spent every summer at the beach, and then mostly in the ocean, I spent many hours diving and imagining myself a dolphin. When I was in delivery with my son, I got over the fear and pain by imagining myself in a river of females of all time, just floating and flowing with that river and all the pain passed by. I have no idea where that notion came from. Somehow reading about Mami Wata many years later, something connected. She was known as the "originator, generatrix, the mother, the mother of the gods, the mateless one". Through research of this small selection of images, many of these are goddesses of fertility and motherhood. I do have a hunch many of these goddesses were shifted to sirens, or beautiful creatures used to lure men to their deaths, when a shift to patriarchal societies replaced goddess worship.
The research of Mami Wata led me not only to these other myths, a few of whom are later incarnations of Mami Wata herself, as she was worshiped from Africa to Turkey and was perhaps the first incarnation of Isis in Egypt, but also to searching for a scientific basis for these myths. One of the books was a book suggesting an aquatic beginning entitled THE AQUATIC APE by Elaine Morgan, writer and evolutionary anthropologist. Her work and the work of her predecessors is still obviously controversial, but is heralded by the likes of Sir Richard Attenborough.
Investigating these world wide myths and seeing the similarites in stories has me certain the search of these mysteries has just begun.

"falling" a solo show, 3/7-4/12
Falling
.
Falling's weightlessness is a troubled one
It's not like the airtime of up-drafting hawks
or homosapient gliders hung on wires under
silk billows out of their element
snubbing gravity putting on airs,
nor like the honking camaraderie
of southbound geese chasing solar flares
To know that speeding mass
in collusion with collision brings bereavement
in worlds of muscle blood and bone
is usually enough to keep most breathers
from dancing on edges or diving off ledges
By a wise prescience we understand
that freefall without orbit
must be a heavy weightlessness
no matter how long its freedom lasts
if gravity's die is cast
Bodies are more fragile than stone and steel.
In falling minds minutes are surreal
and time expands as down mind coasts
—as future shortens past grows richer
and now's edge is honed so fine
as to split the hairs of ghosts,
and life 's full-tipped to spill last hours out
which cling to sides of tissue pitchers
Past becomes a fuller world, more here,
which is why old fallers often go there more
than fresh fallers do, who, still green,
in exhilarated falling feel only wind in hair
the sheen of mornings crisp and new
being blessed to not fully grasp
that they are falling too
