Space Between began in 2015 while exploring a few abandoned farm houses in Missouri. At first, I only photographed the exteriors, not really knowing what was inside. With permission, I returned and photographed the interior. I felt a connection to these houses - a connection to past lives lived, things left behind and the feelings that remain. I felt centered and calm.

A house is a sacred place that shelters us and provides security. It is a symbol of the Great Mother - the center of civilization. Digging deeper, some believe that what happens inside a house happens inside ourselves. The house is a symbol of our universe - the roof as heaven, the windows as deities and the body as the earth.

These houses offer me a sense of spirituality. I feel my mother’s presence there. A powerful inspiration, my mother was strong. She was intellect. She stood up for people and causes she believed in. She was tenderhearted and kind. She died at 51. Far too soon.

As 10 years passed, then 20, and now 30, my connection to her grows - in that space between. This series continues to develop, with other locations but with the same purpose and connection.
