"What I call ‘found objects’ bring with them insights into other dimensions, reverberations of other worlds, other planes of being. I keep everything: curious bits of wood, feathers, teeth, jawbones, seed pods, snake skins. Found objects engender a contemplative response. I must say that many of these things, like antlers and snake skins, are very difficult to find so they are doubly treasures.Richard returned one day from a walk on the Island and placed in my hand the perfectly preserved form of a tiny desiccated frog." ~ Barbara Howard
