“The Gaia Illumination Rounds were produced at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, VT in residency, spring of 2019. The series consists of watercolor, herbs, earth pigments, gouache, gold leaf, and ink on recycled, deckled paper measuring approximately 8.5″ in diameter. They feature automatic poetry in imagined landscapes, in response to essays on Gaia and globalism by the writer and cultural critic, Bruno Latour. The work ‘Parzival’ was also begun in residency at VSC, but later completed in the artist’s home studio. The spiral lettering recreates exactly a pithy telling of the Arthurian grail legend by author and environmental activist Joanna Macy.”
