artistic statement
as

furl 

part one

From Old French fer, ferm ‘firm’ + lier ‘bind’, meaning to roll or fold up (something) neatly and securely.

A way for me to express how I may

try to open up

or withdraw

internally was to

focus on

the physical unfurling of a fern leaf.

I’m fascinated by how the

plant curls up

or unravels depending on

different touch;

human touch,

water and light touch,

heat and cold, and

I thought about unraveling,

or coiling up, these

possibilities with the viola.
