This project employs
the ancient presence of elephants as a reference point from which to
evaluate social connections, or lack of, within modern humanity. Because
elephants live and work in groups that are socially inclusive, I am
drawn to their perceptiveness and wonder about the losses we have incurred
following the lead of modern civilization. Some aspects of civilization
have led to the corruption of our sense of "other," inflating
the importance of the individual by manner of an exclusive dream. This
body of work attempts to touch the earthen soul within each of us, looking
at the present through eyes made sensitive by thousands of years.
