About<br />
am an interdisciplinary artist whose current work focuses on<br />
ecological relationship building through a reawakening and<br />
repairing of the emotional and spiritual connection between<br />
humans and the natural world. My work nurtures our innate<br />
ability to understand the subtle languages of the Earth. I<br />
invite a deepening of connection through direct sensory and<br />
extrasensory exploration, and the sharing of dreams and<br />
visions in connection to natural sites. My work encompasses<br />
poetic solo performance videos as well as facilitating<br />
ethereal communal experiences in the form of interactive<br />
installations.<br />
Presently I am immersed in my “Water Keepers’ Library<br />
project - which centers around the expansion of a library of<br />
water samples gathered with gratitude from around the world.<br />
This water is shared through an interactive installation where<br />
I guide metaphysical group communication experiences<br />
exploring the consciousness and language of water together.<br />

North is a Circle<br />
This body of video work is a series of subtle interactions<br />
between myself and the natural world. It is a deeply personal<br />
work in which I follow my Nordic roots only to return to myself<br />
and an Earth beyond map lines and human limitations.<br />
Navigating multiple truths of my own cultural history, I move<br />
through cycles of loss, understanding, hope, healing, and<br />
a reconnection to the spiritual world of nature. Opening my<br />
inner and outer senses I journey into the magic that Earth<br />
whispers through all her beings and the elements she holds.<br />
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />
It takes time to find the magic…. to hear the language…..<br />
deep listening, deep seeing….<br />
an opening of senses you didn’t know you had…. dream<br />
thoughts…. a way of sifting through the impulses and thought<br />
tones moving through your mind…. subtle, communal,<br />
connective….. you become more than yourself… a part of<br />
the universe and yet completely terrestrial…
