“My passion as a sculptor involves a technique I uncovered more than 20 years ago — the precise art
of creating “virtual records” of contemporary culture — capturing common, everyday items in stone.

Shannon Brunskill. Throughout her life there have been times where a situation will impact her, causing a strong emotional response. They
are moments that cause time to stand still and they weigh on her mind for days weeks or years. These instances incite an unwavering need
to explain or express them to others; my only method for doing so is through a visual vocabulary.
This work is a collection of experiences, beginning with childhood memories, continuing through more recent events. They discuss issues
