Work: Lily Iterating; 3:2 ratio. Composite photo, graphite sketch and snow on the Milwaukee River. I have spent ten weeks working at defining myself as an artist. I am a conceptual artist who works across multiple mediums. The recurrent concepts in my work are iterations, iterative change and transitions. I have recurrent themes in my work, feminism, femaleness, exploration of art history and the exploration of death. I respond to situations and the environment. With the onset of the the corona virus I began to walk, observe, and take photographs. I understand and appreciate the aleatory (chance) component of my work. https://www.instagram.com/p/CNKwjTVgMnx/?igshid=r7waoza2pbdj

Horned girl leaps on the back of a too fat bird with too small wings. It does not matter. In her imagination horned girl and the bird soar. Horned girl sings out, I have been many people in my life and they are all still with me https://www.instagram.com/p/CKAPaTYnv1S/?igshid=f15w1kvd7ynx

I define myself by how I create as much as what I create. My work is intuitive. But Kristin once wrote, "Your work is inventive." And that adjective delighted me https://www.instagram.com/p/CKANgH6nNzm/?igshid=5h9od4hexn8r

Horned girl stands with her back to the scene. Behind her Strange Friend has changed into a house and is shouting. Snakes writhe out of it. Orange birds take to the air and shriek. And Horned girl thinks, "Anger, agony, and grief come and pass. Calm comes. That passes too." https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ6GZ7IHed4/?igshid=4nkuh6uzcewa

I consult others. I tell Polly who is erudite and experienced with judging art. Itold her how important the creative process was to me. I used the word Evolution. She responded and I understood my work is not about evolution. It is about Iteration. I am not searching for an ultimate style or medium. One Iteration can be as valuable as the next. https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ3uHvYHSae/?igshid=2c2dxeehj856

As the snake flew the horned girl contemplated. "In all my journeys, in all my thinking, and dreaming, as an old woman with many experiences I have never seen a snake fly. Now that's iterative change and famned bizarre." https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ05ic1HvHJ/?igshid=10ft6vqhebsf4

The righr edge of the Strange Friend's lip curved slightly upward. "Be a tree or two," it said. Horned girl squinted. She noticed the snake was shifting https://www.instagram.com/p/CJzTgDJHNtR/?igshid=99o664c1z6pd

Although she is amazed she should not be. The horned girl understands mutability. She is not a horned girl at all. She is an old woman who has been many people in her lifetime. Her strange friend smiles and transforms into a flower https://www.instagram.com/p/CJtKEQJHyoV/?igshid=h2rjq7ol3lnr

Really, the story is not about the horned girl. She is just the witness to events. One morning she noticed that her friend had morphed. She is amazed. https://www.instagram.com/p/CJqqkNxnoVe/?igshid=he4te3lx4u6f
