TRUTH IS A PATHLESS LAND
j. krishnamurti

// as an artist and maker : my work is the reflection of fortunate encounters and meaningful exchange with the living and material world -

... touched by beauty and driven by curiosity, my practice is a matter of existence, a vector towards some sort of realization, a way of sharing - and a source of happiness
