Little by Little

Before Beaverville, Liana and I had planned on collaborating for a dual exhibition filled with mixed media works on a smaller scale.  Giving each other creative freedom we decided that we would focus on the natural surroundings of the boreal forest where we live, create small mixed media pieces and the rest was up to our own creative process and interpretation.  We created our works individually, only allowing ourselves to bring the works together for the final exhibition.  I found myself drawn to the challenge of creating things on a miniature scale, exploring a variety of techniques and finding new ways to use natural and recycled materials.  Here are the works I created along with my personal interpretation of ​Little by Little:

Maybe it's the little things that matter most... 

Perhaps we get so caught up in the big picture we lose sight of the purpose in each day - in each stage - of life.  And what if, like the boreal forest around us, we too are meant to live in seasons?  Is it possible that the smaller steps (even when they feel like steps backward) are part of our growth too?

This collection of 'little' pieces (using gathered and recycled natural elements) are reflections on the natural world in its seasonal acts of obedience.  I may desire summer with the fullness of green and its long, warm days, but each period of growth has a beautiful purpose that leads into the next.  The slowness of the cycle of life, from winter dormancy to fall harvest, is an integral piece of our story.
