This is the third of a series of site specific installations that I created while at an Artist in residency at Elephant Butte Lake, NM, 2017.



Portals are the threshold between what we already know to be true — part of
our life - and the unexpected. Portals are energy access points that help us
connect with the Energy of Land and Place. 


These site specific installations mirror the
movement of the energy of each location. These installations are ethereal, changing over time as they are influenced by humans, weather, and the shifting sands of the desert.




This Portal Flooded about two weeks after it was finished.
