In uncertainty I turn to stories. Recently, the prevailing uncertainty in my life has been my introduction to motherhood. In these new works, I navigate these mysteries through mythmaking–adapting older stories and forming them into new shapes. My process of making follows a similar approach, adapting older forms of making like quilting and applique to tell new stories. Nursing by the sea, seagulls protecting their young, the monotony of it all, serpents, slugs, goldenrod, and milkweed. The stories I tell offer no solutions–they are both observations and daydreams. They help me to feel comfortable in not knowing, allowing me to explore this space and discover new ways of being. The magical, the phenomenal, the miraculous ways.
