Nancy Tobin • Statement
work:
balance & contradictions
nature
the world outside &
the world inside my head
heartbreakingly beautiful &
creepy as hell
layers look like forest
layers look like underwater
layers look like outerspace
I want to make sense of this
I want to control it &
I want to share it with you
