"During treks around Blue Ridge Mountain landscapes, I feel my breathing deepen and slow down, my senses sharpen and focus differently, and my thoughts settle into reflections on time's arc. The stones, the plants and animals, the streams and lakes, the skies, the land's curvature--all remind me anew about my immersion in the natural world's ancient, ongoing wonders and mysteries. Through an original poem, the various imagery techniques, and map images of the area where I live and feel centered, Mnemonics celebrates nature's revelatory power and my own place within the vastness"--Artist's statement from Vamp & Tramp Booksellers website, viewed Feb. 14, 2014.
