ARTIST STATEMENT :
"My work focuses on the significance and ecological concerns of the river, an iconic source of fertility with its cyclical nature of renewal and destruction."
"In a land with limited water supplies the politics and necessity of water is essential to our environmental needs. Calligraphic marks infer a text or a series of musical notes acknowledging our need to understand the life blood of aquifers and rivers in order to work with these fragile resources."
