"Enki rides his chariot through space.
Perhaps leaving his home planet and
flying toward Earth, where he will
genetically engineer workers to mine
gold."
"The shifting hues of the Aurora
Borealis in the northern skies are
created by the light reflecting off the
armor of the Valkyrie, warrior maidens
collecting the souls of the dead on the
battlefield and escorting them to
Valhalla."
"Goddess cults are filled with snakes.
The Aboriginal god Ungud carries the
rainbow serpent, sliding between the
sexes."
"Beaded figures began with making a piece for a figural show of beadwork. Though my work has
almost always dealt with the figure, the challenge of working sculpturally has opened more doors. I
am excited to play with historical characters, bringing stories to life. Creating these figures out of
beads adds to their mythic proportions, their otherworldliness."
