About Recycling Earthlings:
Recycling Earthlings, are shadow figures translated into lace patterns, visualizing, and expressing the interconnectivity within ourselves - our bodies when viewed on the cellular micro level, and within our society on a macro level - among societies on a planetary level as well as at the level of stars, at the intergalactic level. We are all part of this pattern where everyone is connected, sustaining, and being sustained by a yet bigger pattern. Thus, my Recycling Earthling images and figures representing the potentiality of shadows are a TOTEM to the many ways, often invisible, by which we are interconnected. They express and rejoice the potentiality arising from within each person. They show not only the zigzags and twists and turns of life, but also the interweaving myriad of connections that form human society and connect humans, just as love does… We are like threads, caught in loops of emotions in patterns of past and future generations of human society.
