All words dear to my heart, and central to my artwork.

TS Elliot writes in the Four Quartets: “all is always now,” and speaks of a moment as “investing form with lucid stillness,” and how our perception captures stops movement. “This is the one way, not in movement / but in abstention from movement.”

My hot glue installations feel as though they suspend a moment in time. It’s what an icicle does. Solidifies, make it past tense.  Just thoughts. Raw, fugitive.
