Most of us living in post-industrial areas of the world are unaware of the non-human life living all around us. Plants and animals' integral to the homeostasis of our planet are largely ignored or simply understood from a utilitarian perspective. At the same time, While We Sleep addresses this separation and the beauty of remembering and behaving as a part of nature rather than separate and different.

The Natural world provides anchor points into the very moment in which I am living. It is here I discover a new perspective in my art-making process.
Out of my head and into the moment, I awaken each time I pay attention to my natural surroundings. In these moments of pure awareness, unhampered by the never-ending thoughts the human mind naturally creates, a still place of magnanimity surfaces.
This moment of grace, unhampered by conditions, feels like an altar. How I arrive in this no space place is a paradox. Trusting in this quiet process offers me creative direction and impulse.
