Welcome

I invite you to pause and notice the subtleties that are often missed in the pace of daily life.

This blog is an experimental diary for LifeWays, a multidisciplinary project exploring how memory moves through landscape, the seasons, and the still spaces we often overlook. Here I share reflections, creative fragments, images, poetic texts, and notes from a slow unfolding.

This new body of work follows the subtle threads that link memory and lived experience across place and time.

LifeWays listens to the full rhythm of the land; the peace before the storm, the wintering and the return.

LifeWays is a gentle invitation to listen to what the land remembers.

Not all beginnings bloom

Some root quietly

in moss & time-worn bark

– Field Notes: Spring 2025

Branches, lichen, soft green beginnings — each holds a faint trace of place and time.

This work invites you to rest with the quiet beneath trees, to feel the texture of weathered bark, and to notice how squalls of light move through the shadows left after late-summer rain.

These signatures of belonging reveal themselves when we pause and attune to the layers of presence resting just beneath the wind-burnished surface..

Weathered surfaces reveal

traces of time

a threshold where belonging stirs

A practice of attention:

Sometimes the work arrives as tenderness; sometimes as tension: a branch holding both blossom and thorn, a sky carrying both shadow and light.

Each moment carrying the quiet imprint of what has passed.

LifeWays can be sensed along worn trails, by the soft meandering river’s edge, in the gentle drift of autumn leaves; in the brief sweep of an owl’s midnight flight; and in the early warmth of spring light.

I will be sharing small updates and reflections on Instagram as the work evolves.
