Process Statement: Fire Talks, my most current work utilizes the element of fire while I learn from land and fire how to reindiginize myself and work towards being a good steward of the land I call River Place. The local Roanoke River continuously brings organic matter in all shapes and sizes towards my house. I often interpret this as an offering, as a collaboration, to shift & transform, to generate bon fires much like those in Nordic and Celtic traditions celebrating the midsummers eve or Native American traditions that utilize fires to balance and maintain the local ecosystem.
