head

The head is a sacred place, the center where cultural influences are absorbed, siphoned and retained, and the site where we process the world through the senses. The sculptural headdresses I create are metaphorical funnels for the fluidity of cultural heritage and cultural melding

“Her inventive use of forms and bright colors make this work a strong statement of cultural identity.”
