Description
The way water continually flows, moves or shifts could be said to personify Nature’s (inherent) Wanderlust. Water is never still. Water in nature ripples constantly. Waves, rivers, creeks, streams and oceans all have momentum. Water is pulled by the moon and tidal currents. Water always follows the invisible force of gravity by flowing in a meandering yet always downward direction. The Cascadia bioregion which is a scientific name for the Pacific Northwest is characterized by water cascading down the coastal mountains (Cascade range) and emptying into the sea. This altered book with hand cut waves collaged onto the scrolled pages honors and celebrates the Pacific Northwest bioregion and the element of water which is essential to all life on earth. This work is part of an ongoing series of written, performance, and visual works titled “Sacred Waters.”
