  Artist Statement

     Old haunts from childhood can lurk in the corners of ones mind forever. The house still sits in the little town in Maine. The home has a new life beating inside her chest, but the old memories of what it was still enrapture my mind.
Only I'm left with illusions.
The two lilac trees acted out as blossoming pillars guarding my Grandparents Home.
The sweet enchanting smells of fresh foods from the garden outside.
the red bicycle I would invent into my own personal car to park in the driveway.

My grandfather and I would walk around the house as if on our journey across the lands of time. He would tell me about the home and its history. About the family memories he had with my mother. About the memories I was forming at that moment.

The Home seemed quiet in my youth.
Acting its part and never demanding recognition.
But it had a way of enchanting me without a word spoken.

I believe she's speaking to me now.
Asking where have we gone? Where are the families she once knew and protected?

She's silently haunting my mind until I return to her.
Speak to Me.
