Artist Statement This work reflects ideas of potential and healing through the process of creating voids and geometric shapes in meditative fields. I began this series after teaching in Rome with the University of New Orleans’ International Studies program in July 2018. The deceptive simplicity of circles and squares in this work refer to the classical geometry that permeates the artwork in the city. Near the end of the trip, there was a blood moon, a lunar eclipse that lasted the longest of any of any in the twenty-first century. Eclipses mark beginnings, times for starting anew. A new beginning, however, will always be tied to what came before it, and it is this shifting relationship that the work engages by evoking the potential of change and lunar magic.
