Provocation

What do we lose when we try to separate research from art? The translucence and fragility of both fence (a human construct) and root provoke the role of art and imagination in addressing precarious ecological times.

Between Sure and Unsure

“Between Sure and Unsure” is a process piece reinforcing my inability to separate artist-researcher-educator when they are one. I cannot paint without thinking. I wonder while painting. I explain my process to others. There is no mention of gold fences or roots in my research and yet this piece creatively encapsulates my research in education.
