What If?

Book Cover & Preview Text
I like to sit in my big cozy chair,
and daydream from my quiet
little room.
I often start my daydreams by
asking myself a simple question.
“What if?”
What if…my chair had wheels?
Would my chair roll to places both
far and near?
I sure would not be stuck here
sad and blue,
as if weights on my ankles
kept me here.
All alone in my room, I would kick
back in my chair.
Where would I go if I knew
I could fly?
Could I go places with my chair
taking me there?
What would I do?
Could I think of some way to go?
I think I’ll try...

About the Book
Artist Statement -
Fixed on a portrayal of longing and a passionate desire to journey beyond the restrictive present, my figures embody the emotions of isolation and captivity tempered with the hope of escape. Appearing in a trancelike state of daydream absorbed by fanciful journeys, the figures are propelled into imaginative journeys as well as lives of personal completeness.
Hop on board and take a journey with me! What if? Let’s find out!
