Statement
Who says there can't be gardens in the imagination?
My gardens escape, fly, show the passage of time, hang, hold on. They tell me about life itself, so ephemeral, so real and so beautiful. This time shows them as they are: rich, fleeting, sometimes trapped.
I play at inventing them, I take care of them, I observe them, I interpret them, I preserve them and then I set them free, and I always dream of them.
