To Love a Storm was created in August of 2010.  Its creation was inspired by a poem that the artist wrote with the same title.  The poem is reproduced below. 

When I step outside and feel the weight of the cool air descend, my shoulders are pressed. The condensed molecules fill my lungs; my skin breathes in. I taste the moisture in the air.

The leaves above me dance, and the branches clap their rigid limbs as the wind forces itself among them; the leaves on the ground scurry and roll and twirl and pause.

There is calm; there is quiet.

I raise my head to see the sky darkening; my heart fills with tempered ecstasy. I know what approaches: black sky; violent downpours; electric, white, harsh atmospheric ribbons that crack the sky and send flutters through my blood; thunder that moans with deep guttural resonation.

I am flint; I am exhaustible. Yet, I cannot avert my eyes. I do not want to run and hide.

What is man when compared to this glory? What is man to a sky whose fury can rip through mountains, remove buildings and decimate machines while choosing to caress delicate petals?

It is an energy I never tire of. I would welcome its undoing- as I do you. I can’t help it.

You are a storm, and I can feel your approach like fire.

I am preserved only by the rush of cold that you emit to prevent my combustion.

I wish you could feel the rev of my engine; for a moment, I see only black and white.

The intoxication would surely nearly make you burst, and you would keep coming back for more.
