ABOUT THE SERIES:

EX TERRA IS A COLLECTION OF ARTWORKS DRAWN FROM TRAVELS ACROSS LAND — THROUGH DESERTS, HILLS, CITIES, AND DUST — A TIME BEFORE I TURNED TOWARD THE SEA.

EACH PIECE CENTERS ON A REMEMBERED FIGURE OR CREATURE, SURROUNDED BY MARKINGS THAT ECHO ANCIENT WALLS, CAVE ETCHINGS, AND FOLK TRADITIONS.

THE DETAILS ARRIVE SLOWLY — SOME IMAGINED, SOME RETURNED AS ECHOES — DRAWN FROM SOMETHING OLDER THAT LINGERS BENEATH THE SURFACE.

EACH TAPESTRY INVITES A SLOWER GAZE: WHAT FIRST SEEMS LIKE A BOLD SILHOUETTE UNFOLDS INTO A MINIATURE WORLD.
