Artist Statement

“Take 3 Deep Breaths” is inspired by the little, yet profound moments we can all find ourselves in when immersed in nature. The handmade beads made with salt dough (plain, matcha, and coffee grounds) cascade down a branch from Forest Park with bursts of flouresent pink. Each strand is unique and has its own rhythm and beat to create a musical score for the viewer to visually follow. The piece establishes a new synergistic energy of the found object and craft. We encourage the viewer to walk through the curtain as a reminder to take a moment to enjoy the outdoors and everything nature can offer.
