Breathe in Water

The look, sound and smell of bodies of water are prominent in my visual and tactile memories—calm waters invoke a blend of relaxation while revealing memories, reflecting on where I am in my life. Turbulent water stirs up my angst, creating a tension to pull through and restore calm. Visualization of water and breathing techniques are my preferred methods of meditation, which take me back to those reflective times. These feelings are the source of inspiration for my collection ‘Breathe in Water’.

Time spent by and in bodies of water have held importance and significance in my life—ranging from days teaching swimming and canoeing. I gain solace from kayaking in Midcoast Maine region to vacations by mountain lakes and ocean beaches.

This body of work is presented in a series of large scale archival pigment prints and as a fine press book.
