As we fully enter 2011 and I am once again at work in my studio here are few things I'm thinking about as I prepare for my Ice Jelly show at the Hampden Gallery and prepare new concepts and proposals for large installations . . .

With this series of work ice jellies I have come to a place of faith, Not faith outside humanity but faith in my understanding of our connectedness on earth. What exists in me exists throughout our world. Therefore how could I not feel benevolent forces at work within us?

Thinking about ice: with the Pakistan floods in mind,  thinking about the rate of the Himalayan glacier melting and that potential for flood devastation.

As we experience what feels like a very quickly moving, or so one hopes, evolution our ability to now transcend time, place and distance through digital technology and beyond will serve us in ways we haven't yet imagined. The image below? Windstalks! Science becomes art?
