In August 2020 my mother died and I became free in a way I hadn't been in many years.  I bought an RV, took off and ultimately landed in Ajo Arizona where I rented a studio for the winter..  In the deep quiet of the desert the working process became a personal memorial.  These mostly figurative images were layered with silk qauze which moved with the slightest air current and gave me comfort and the feeling of presence.  The vastness of the desert land and sky were perfect for this time of transition.
