Where Have The Wild Words Gone?

Artist Statement: Many common nature words have been eliminated from children’s dictionaries, to make room for social media words. This strikes me as reflective of our belief that we can rely on technology to get us out of the challenges that we face we in our changing world. When really, what we need is to better understand and appreciate our connection to everything that lives and breathes.

Artist Statement : Ancient trees and rocks are silent witnesses to the story of our planet.  While they offer no certitude of what really happened in the past, contemplating their beginnings, and their beauty, offers a rightful perspective of our place in the scope of time.
