Words

My work is about relationships: The truth, the made to look like, the what you thought it was, the what it actually is.
Animal qualities make my characters appear innocent and at first whimsical and safe. Later they reveal an unexplained tension.
They are not overly-dramatic; they are subtle, almost sneaky.
They walk on their tiptoes.
They tell stories, they keep secrets, they dance and sing, they comfort one another, they ignore,they control.
They are innocent and they are guilty.
They are vessels filled with memories, doubt, fear, and happiness.
They are mothers. They are fathers. They are children. They are all children.
The lines that hold them together also keep them apart.
