Blue Thunder Circle ART LAB residency 2012

Driving through the desert landscape of southern Utah during summer monsoon season was an amazing way to begin my adventures of creating work at Blue Thunder Circle ART LAB

I am grateful to have spent 18 days, collecting and creating in the high mountain desert town of Gunnison, Colorado.  I was inspired by the dramatic landscape of the Rockies, the squat burly sage brush and the resourceful, graceful magpies. Blue Thunder Circle studio was an amazing place to get away from the distractions of my city life and focus on making work.

Somniare Domum or in English, "Dreaming Home", was created while considering what it is we mean when we call a place home. What symbols and objects represent home to us?  What materials are effected by our human way of creating home spaces.

Thank you so much to everyone for hosting me and helping me make everything happen!
