What the hell is this, anyway?
More than likely you’ve reached this page because you received an envelope containing an artwork, some leading words and a link. (Or you are wandering through my site and randomly happened upon this page after looking at other projects, like In Search of the Frightening and Beautiful – in which case, welcome.)
This page, along with the individual works I’ve sent out, represents fragments of a whole – pieces of something larger, something capable of setting off chain reactions of creativity and movement when combined into one element. It brings together many forms in which I work – embroidery, drawing, writing and gift-giving, to name a few – in the service of reminding people they are remembered and loved. We need this right now.
If you received a card, scroll through this page and search for the image that best matches what you have in your hand. Click on the image, and there you will find a story. This and the others are tales from the road, curated from hundreds collected from over seven years of solo motorcycle travel, embarked upon in the service of my ongoing project, In Search of the Frightening and Beautiful.
As Covid-19 limits our ability to gather, to travel, to shake hands and hold each other…this is my way of holding you. 2020 is over. It’s time for renewal.
