Inspire. Imagine. Illuminate.
Palettes of Inspiration
An unexpected discovery on a forest floor may lead to a new sculpture exploring the transient life of a seedpod. In the Yosemite valley, where the sky is squeezed between unimaginable alps of granite, Dana translates the experience of feeling both insignificant and interconnected into her work. Looking into the California landscape and seeing the gnashing fissures of fault lines, she’s moved to decipher that feeling of impermanence into a visual reminder that change is constant and out of our control. The quiet beauty of spackled white snow on the disheveled red cliffs of Southwest or the simple pleasure of sitting in a creek, tracing the texture of ochre lichen embracing boulders, inspires a quest for a new glaze or surface treatment. This is where the seedpods and portal sculptures will live
