Its been over 20 years since I started creating Talismans from the detritus I find on my walks, travels, detours, escapes, missteps and planned migrations. The series has become almost totally made up of found, natural items. Only the glue is bad for the environment. Talismans come into the world ready to work and jest. They are imbued with mystery and a desire to heal and motivate.
