Artist's Statement
Salt Prayer Wall

Most recently, I created a studio installation called Salt Prayer Wall. To make it, I cut niches in a wall, then dripped wet salt onto it over the course of two months. During the entire process, I was…well….praying. For everyone I know. Or maybe well-wishing is more apt. Something like: "May Mama be happy, may she be peaceful. May Devon be happy, may he have success." Again and again and again. I used over 400 pounds of salt to make the installation.

Making this artwork allowed me to direct my attention to healing on many levels; and I am looking forward to expanding on the idea in a future installation. (More)
