As she says in the article, &#8220;&#8230;\u00a0the recurring theme in my artistic practice is to create structures that seem alive.&#8221; I think we&#8217;d all agree that she manages that tremendously well in this piece. Truthfully, there hasn&#8217;t been any of her work that I&#8217;ve seen that doesn&#8217;t do this. She repeatedly gives one the impression that her pieces could get up and slink off or fly or even rise up like a proud peacock just gently prodded.<\/p>\n<p>She does not seem to have a website, but the article and these couple of pages I&#8217;m listing here will give you the opportunity to really delve into the beauty of this incredible work.
