Even if it’s slow movement. These “Phase Friends” represent an attempt to give the inner dialogue of adjustment some personality. They came out of my belief that if we make “friends” with our phases of adjustment, even the ones we don’t particularly enjoy, we can begin to trust and understand that this phase, well, is just a phase, and it will pass.

The “Phases” collection, 2020. A visual exploration surrounding the ideas of phases of adjustment. Always changing, moving, evolving, morphing. The phases and cycles of life and nature. Phases — they come, they go, they may leave whispers behind of what they were. We are never the same from one phase to the next.
