Elevation Series

To build a house, two types of drawings are essential: the plan or aerial view (as seen from above) and elevation drawings to describe the structure as seen from the ground. In 2007, the tsunami of divorce shifted everything when our house ceased to be a home. No longer grounded in familiar (as in, family) territory, the horizon disappeared.  Body and soul seemed threatened,  I looked everywhere for guidance. Also, inspired by 20th Century icons, Eadward Muybridge (who documented motion in sequenced still photographs,) and Hermann Rorschach (whose inkblot tests helped map emotional territory,) I began to look at life in a different way; I examine the positive and negative space of human coupling, looking for balance.
