As we travel, we come across opportunities, establish milestones, and collect the gems of lessons learned. We influence others along their path. Split decisions send us left or right, determining all future direction. We move like so many before us, yet each journey is unique.
I explore the well-worn trails created by the movements of people, animals, insects, and even thought patterns, using a language of symbols I associate with life’s journeys. These symbols relate to maps, geography and transportation, as well as folk tales and our psyche.
