All living and nonliving matter are connected in form or system. Through my work on “Symbiosis,” I have witnessed the power of holistic management, also called systems thinking. I can see that Changing our decision making process to consider whole systems and connectedness is the solution to our environmental and social issues. Changing how society thinks is the driving force in my art.
With this new awareness I am inspired to consistently reflect it in my work. I have decided to rethink “Rumblings,” which began as a collection of monotypes of 50 of the 10,000 bee species. It wasa mono crop of bees. However, you can’t separate the interconnection between bees, humans, or other living organisms and the earth's natural systems. We are all part of the living planet Earth. I will start applying systems thinking to all my installations. “Rumblings ” will celebrate the relationships among a diversity of species up and down the food chain. I will weave into these pieces the relationships that whisper of Earths biological processes and Physical and chemical Elements. The connections can be obvious or subtle, they can be unmeasurable or invisible. This will be fun.
