Rockrose and Thistle

Art

Rockrose and Thistle is an art practice that tries to capture the intimate moments in a person's everyday life as a practice of record-keeping and mindfulness - the beauty of a seemingly ordinary moment that can stay with a person for years to come. The examination of mundane spirituality - that is, the moments of connection with self, others, the universal consciousness - are what drive the practice. For me, art is a necessary act, a fact of living in the world and a way to learn how to negotiate life. I make art to remember, to understand, and to share.
