On the Baobab Group
My recent work includes a group based on the Baobab trees of Madagascar, Africa, and Australia. I honor these ancient mother succulents that have an amazing capacity to store water during the rainy season, and create eco-systems for their surrounds. Baobabs inhabited Earth long before humans; in a sense, they have witnessed our becoming. Baobabs provide a starting point for emotional grounding and my continuing exploration of clay and the possibilities of form.
