There is an inter- connectedness to all life that is possible to experience firsthand, altering our perceptions as it both wounds and delights. The spiral in my work presents itself as the perfect tool to illustrate this unity. Each rotation flowing outward and embracing the next while it increases in depth. It both envelops and resides in images that never quite solidify, symbolizing altered states and the inexplicable connection between time periods, events and life forms. It represents for me what could be a new and authentic engagement with life and a promise for the future. Kathleen Pepicello

We must assume our existence
as broadly as we in anyway can;
everything, even the unheard of,
must be possible in it. This is at
bottom the only courage that is
demanded of us, to have
courage for the most strange,
the most inexplicable.
Rainer Maria Rilke
The world thus appears as a
complicated tissue of events, in
which connections of different
kinds alternate or overlap or
combine, and thereby determine
the texture of the whole.
Werner Heisenberg
If I let go of the notion of my
individuality, then it's endless. I
suffer when others suffer, I
learn from the mistakes other
people make. I see myself as a
midwife to an emergent
consciousness. I stand at the
gate reaching both ways. With
the simplest relaxation, I can be
in complete gratitude, and the
next moment I can feel my
heart break.
