Recently I’ve been working on a series of ceramic trees that resemble orbs and blobs. Together, they become a constellation of the different trees that I’ve encountered ever since moving back to Vancouver. It is the living, enduring, and protective qualities of trees that I admire. During the winter I snowboard in the woods, riding between trees. I like hugging the snow pillows that form on rocks and the top of trees and terrain; I like the quiet and calm of the wilderness. When I snowboard with my friends, I feel protected and taken care of. They are always around – not too far away.

最近我一直在研究一系列类似球体和团状物的陶瓷树。它们一起成为我搬回温哥华后遇到的不同树木的星图。我欣赏的是树木的生命力、持久性和保护性品质。 冬天，我在树林里滑雪，在树林之间骑行。 我喜欢拥抱岩石、树顶和地形上形成的雪枕；我喜欢原野的安静和平静。当我和朋友一起滑雪时，我感到受到保护和照顾。 他们总是在附近——离得不太远。
