My dreams are sometimes dark. I feel them when I am there. They are weighted with dread at times with a feeling of drowning. Many of them take me to a place I feel like I should not be but I am being given a tour of which I cannot look away from. They are visceral and I bring back with me ideas and images of which I try to represent here in these creations. Simak Tide. Bird like, abstract in both structure and mannerism. It has been a tour guide on occasion with a sense of solitude and hints of intelligent design. A creature of wisdom.
