POEM
Winter: challenging, evocative, mystical / Commanding the elements of water, wind and earth / Temperatures plummet and fluctuate, materials expand and contract / Landscapes and seascapes blown and pushed and pulled and blanketed and folded and swept and exposed / Shaped to ever changing vistas / Winter benign comforter, sinister alchemist, torturer and pleasurer

ELEMENTS OF WINTER series: elemental forces experienced during wintertime. Water is often mutable between liquid, solid and gas. Land is covered and uncovered, exposed / vulnerable and blanketed / safe. Harsh realities of survival can be prominent juxtaposed with a stark cleansing beauty. #sensuouspractice
