Palmarin Merges: Artist's Statement

Change and movement are universal themes. It is a cycle: birth, life, death…change, adapt, grow. Every change is a “death” of what we used to know, a chance for us to adapt and grow into our new situation or die. Change is the way of Nature.

The "Ca. Transplant" series of screen-prints are my response to the mental and physical shift of moving from Oakland, California to Sherwood, Oregon: of leaving an urban environment and settling into a suburban environment and map my internal as well as my external environment.
