| In preparation for my solo show
"Thunder Eggs and Re-creations", I was surprised to discover that I had
produced a self portrait. My goal for the show was to rais public awareness to
mining interests that are threatening a very fragile ecosystem and some beautiful
geological structures on the edge of Kluane National Park in the Yukon. This place,
aptly named "Thunderegg Creek" had become a place for me to hike to in
order to become focused, inspired, and centered during stressufl times. While preparing
for this show, my husband and family relocated 1800 miles from Kluane for employment. I
joined them shortly after. My entire body and soul told me I was not ready or capabale of
leaving Kluane yet and I produced this piece upon my solo return to Kluane. It documents
some of the feelings and emotions that I was going through when I discovered that I was
leaving a family and husband of 24 years for a landscape. The round balls forming the
person shape are perfectly round glacial rocks called "Thundereggs" that are
found at the headwaters of this creek. Back    Next |
