"The Art of Kissing"
$275.00

As these fluid, musical pieces have inspired my own rhythm to evolve, the most valuable lesson I’ve learned is that there is beauty in imperfection. Much like the oyster’s process of secreting mucus in layers to harden over the irritation of grit that slips into their shell until it becomes a perfectly smooth, hard, round, beautiful pearl; my process of irritation when glue runs from the clarinet transforms into my vision of the interaction between the masculine clarinet and the feminine-shaped violin, and I leave it there. I transform the instrument and myself into something new. My artwork has taught me a lot about forgiveness and about allowing ‘what is’ to just come into being without judgment. In accepting and transforming the broken instrument, I accept and transform myself, and enjoy the process a whole lot more.
