"I credit much of the trajectory of my current thinking and work to ... moving back to the multigenerational farm where I grew up. It is a place that provokes an enriched perspective. It is also a place rife with curious objects that sometimes embody an archeological sensibility. Likewise, living with my daughter, now seven, means living in an environment teeming with the artifacts of childhood and with an acute awareness of change."
