“I wish to create a suite that plays on the idea of a familiar, warm environment juxtaposed with the cold, hard mediums of ice and snow.

…[the] imagery [is] familiar and comfortable – utilizing the safe, contained form and imagery of Matryo-shka nesting dolls. Each doll sized to fit inside one another symbolizing the generational and societal connection between human beings. The environment …reflect[s] the protection and power created by multiples of a familiar shape and the awe of small familiar items recreated in large scale.

…Most people have a warm familial connection to Matryoshka dolls and the craft of knitting. When these familiar elements are combined and recreated in large scale within the environment. The result [is] wel-coming, cosy and hypnotic.”
