THE FUSE

I have always been fascinated by the stories and metaphors we use to describe our inner lives. Often things of beauty, they are also highly revealing. We reach instinctively for story and metaphor because what goes on inside us can be difficult to describe in plain language. Stories and metaphors allow us to translate sensations and moods into shared images. They help us communicate what is otherwise diffuse, slippery and elusive. They illuminate the shifting weather systems of our inland empires.
