I heard this song while considering the drawing for this piece. For me it was the epitome of how I was feeling about the world at the time and even though this song was written 29 years ago it is even more appropriate now.

"The sky was light and the land all dark
The sun rose up over Central Park
I was walking home from work
Gaia"
"The petal sky and the rosy dawn
The world turning on the burning sun
Sacred wet green one we live on
Gaia"
"Turn away from your animal kind
Try to leave your body just to live in your mind
Leave your cold cruel mother earth behind
Gaia"
As if you were your own creation
As if you were the chosen nation
And the world around you just a rude and
Dangerous invasion
Gaia"
Gaia by James Taylor, Celebration of Earth Day

Get to Know the Artist:
Each piece is a part of a body of work that spans more than forty years, representing a journey of self exploration.
I am fascinated with juxtaposition and fluidity of materials. My work is about exploring the aspects of ephemeral impression and manifesting them in metal. I am currently using steel as well as precious metal to explore these expressions.
