ARTIST STATEMENT

I am driven to address climate change and how it is rapidly affecting the world we know. My narrative fiction Wading for you depicts a liminal space where people and animals alike float through the flood waters of a broken planet. The inhabitants of this place search aimlessly for a way to rest as delirium sets in and a new dialog begins. Life after the high water is absurd to be sure as they seek nothing but each other and a laugh. “The essential doesn’t change”, Samuel Beckett, Waiting for Godot.
