I am longing for warmer weather and sunshine. I want to walk outside without shoes and leave my coat and sweatshirts tucked away in the closet. 

This year it seems that Spring has stayed away and nary a crocus is tucked next to my house.

Life itself stems from this contradiction.” “(…) My work has nothing to do with religion. I think of it more as spirituality. The spirit brings it out and the sculpture has this amazing capacity to reveal objects that were previously hidden away, asleep.
