The past six months I have been in conversation with a gallery in New York, sharing about my work, myself and making new work for them and getting ahead of myself with even newer ideas… so I am honored to finally announce my representation with Todd Merrill Studio in New York.

I share this because it can be difficult to discern a great idea from the real dream.

I have an obsession with scale.

In an interview recently I was asked “why?” The obsession has to do with how scale can change perspective, and change our experience of reality. My first encounters with artwork that surpassed and subsumed my visual field were at the Des Moines Art Center. Climbing inside Andy Goldsworthy’s “Three Carins” and being enveloped by stack stone and a soft concave interior transported me.

It’s been a vastly expansive year for me. The opportunity to be in British Vogue was not even on my radar so what a special gift to be in this month’s magazine. To me it has been a great gift of external reality lining up with inner reality. As I validated and recognized the value and quality of the work I have been making, regardless of whether I was receiving any recognition. Which has not been easy, and it is affirming to be recognized by an institution like @britishvogue . So grateful for my lamps to be included.
