The Seashells
The Seashell Series
Sculpting the Seashells is a meditative and sanative practice of processing pieces of self-discovery. The act of collecting shells from the shoreline to sculpt, the gleaning and keeping, represents the uncovering of what the past offers us to find out about ourselves. The process of creating the sculpt- the observing, analyzing and recreating- symbolizes mindful reflection and introspection. Each piece from the Seashell Series is sculpted from found shells off the North Carolina coast. This body of work is emblematic of uncovering connecting threads of who we are with who we were while contemplating who we aspire to be.
