Like a lot of artists, I'm heavily influenced by my natural surroundings. Having lived in Birch Bay on the west coast of WA for seven years, I still feel the water sloshing around in m'brain!
A number of years ago I read a Barbara Kingsolver non-fiction "High Tide in Tucson" about transitioning from ocean to desert. If I remember correctly, she wrote of her hermit crab still moving through its cage in time to the tides. (Her insights about nature and the desert are almost lyrical. I highly recommend this as a good read!)
However, I am planted here in Spokane for the present and this is where I have to find a new ebb and flow. It'll happen ... with patience.
It will be fun to see what new jewelry will result from this new environment!
