1.Renewal
I map the anatomy and texture of my life. I'm inspired by building, deconstruction and reconstruction. What becomes illuminated over time informs how I work and the ambiguity that intrigues me. I am drawn to the space linking the everyday with the spiritual.

Employing materials and tools in ways other than originally intended, my process incorporates fire, blades, and thread, and various techniques to alter the material. Things accumulate, imprint, shift, decay, evolve.
Tracking Light
My practice includes trying to wrap my mind around empty/full, intent/accident, reveal/conceal, substance/light.

Light is crucial to these drawings. Illumination reveals the delicate layers, and piercings; what is translucent, or in the shadow. Like these works, memory and identity are fragile and ethereal constructs.

Then + Now
6.
Drawing is important in the widest of contexts, not necessarily for preliminary sketching. Often the marks are those that cannot be removed. Multiple projects are simultaneously ongoing and I am not locked into any one discipline.

Installations consisting of pieces made in the studio, often include echos of other works. Created site specific for exhibition, they are never installed the same way twice.

Dealing with lines connections and interruptions.

Materials that traditionally remain hidden are used as surface and made visible.

Additive/ subtractive processes are a significant part in exploring positive and negative space, both formally and conceptually.

My work is influenced by nature';s cycles: incubation, growth, decay, regeneration or renewal.
