Sometimes I feel like I dissolve in water
Like a ball of mud
My body disperses and I am quenched
Like bubbles rising in salt
My body
Body of water
Clay body
Clay and water is what I am made from
Soft and malleable
Oh so strong in my softness
When clay dries it becomes brittle and hard
Cover me with water and the bubbles rise
It is not to late until fire is added to the mix and it hardens for good
Sometimes I harden just a little to the beauty of it all
Put me in a bowl of water and I dissolve
My form changes and I fill the bowl
I am no longer just my body
I am mud and flesh and water
Oh how wonderful to be
My belly is heavy and sinking to the cool and dark places
My limbs reaching to the light
And dancing dancing to the music of life

Embryo's
2014
Embryos of the sea. Forms cast from pebbles thrown up by the sea. This project is about journeys and cycles; the objects collected while walking and the journeys those objects took to get to the place they are now. It is about the cycle of water as it travels from cloud to rain, and back to cloud again, to mirror the cycle of birth, death and rebirth.
