Exhale is my way to grapple with our current environmental, climate situation. We are being bombarded by fires, earthquakes, tsunamis and tornadoes. Mother Earth is speaking loudly and we should be listening and acting. The essential elements of earth, air, and water are all in jeopardy. My process is a collaboration with a myriad of water and air sprayers that forcefully move and remove natural substances from the surfaces of the work: echoing and mending.
