Invite Peace to the Table



I started this piece by creating the window with the idea that in order for peace to happen you have to be open to new ideas and opinions first. Secondly, I though about how you have to be the first to invite peace in. It doesn't happen just by chance you have to nurture it and be open to it. I hope you will think about peace in your next discussion even if it is just at your dinner table.

Take Only What You Need


When I created this piece, I thought a lot about how surprised I was to learn that most people think recycling is something that does not concern them, something that won't hurt or effect them. I see the earth as part of us. It is the one thing that we constantly touch through gravity and the air we take in with every breath. "Take Only What You Need" is a lesson not only from the dinner table, but the consumption of all of our resources.

36" x 30" Created from 95% reclaimed materials.
