I have allowed my curiosity to lead me. I have read, observed, skimmed books listened to lectures, watched films, and responded to the ideas surrounding our knowledge acquisition. In my response am using trees, jars, and bowls in my artwork. These vessels are talismans. They are artefacts which spark my thought process. I ask where the lemon from my kitchen fits with the fish of knowledge from Irish lore and myself, the flying woman walking her dogs. My artwork evidences my thoughts, making my research visible. This is in line with Paul Klee’s assertion that art does not reproduce but makes things visible.
