Of Marrow and Leaf: New Paper Cuts and Reliefs

May 01, 2014

Opening Thursday, May 8, 5-8pm
Through Monday, June 9

Ghost Gallery 
504 E Denny Way at Olive Seattle, WA


"I find it compelling that some of the things we find beautiful and otherworldly can be so harmful to our well-being. Of Marrow and Leaf is a collection of cut paper pieces that explore the beauty of deadly plants in conjunction with the human figure. My intention is for these images to evoke a sense of memento mori, the notion that death is constantly present. While the fragility of life is not a revolutionary idea, I value taking pause to reflect on this simultaneously vital and lethal fact."
