Upon entering the exhibition please leave behind you any pre-conceived ideas of what art is… what it should be… what an exhibition in an art gallery is or should be.

I do not want to explain my work, rather I would like to give you a few questions to think about…

Enter with an open mind, an open heart and enjoy simplicity…

1- What is beauty…art?
2- What is a grain of sand?
3- What does clay mean to you?
4- What is serenity?
5- Can we be simple?
6- Are the Himalayas the same as the Alps?
7- How do you feel about repetition…the same actions everyday, prayers on a rosary, nagging?
8- Is a small grain of sand the same as billions and billions of small grains piled together?
9- How old is stone?
10- Why can’t we accept differences between one another?
11- What is friendship…is it perhaps understanding, accepting and respect…?
12- Does one project from the outside what one feels and thinks from the inside?
13- Is the outer so different from the inner?

Come into my house, beloved – a short while!
Quicken our soul, beloved – a short while!
That from Konya radiate light of Love
To Samarqand and Bukhara a short while!
