Selah

Pause  |  Reflect  |  This is Important

I recently completed my first project for the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation grant I received in 2021, Selah, which resulted in six figurative sculptures. My Selah series was initially focused on capturing the essence of shaman women I met during expansive travel to Nepal, Mongolia, South Korea, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and Iceland in conjunction with the women I seek healing from locally. However, when making the work it turned into so much more.
