Ask the Runes

When I create a new body of work, I often look to the process, materials, and finished works to show me what they are about. These markings seemed to be ancient writings, or Runes, as they revealed themselves to me.

Ancient Runic inscriptions held magical powers. With the aid of inscriptions, one could predict the future, protect a person against misfortune, imbue objects with different qualities, or write down spells.

Runes are distinctive angular markings made on small rocks or bones used for divination. They are a doorway into our intuitive wisdom and the wisdom and magic of the ancient worlds. My Runes are made with reconfigured ink drawings that I began while healing from a shoulder injury. Their unusual angular marks are a gift made from finding ways to overcome adversity.

Ask the Runes, and enjoy the journey.
