overlapping worlds, groups and subgroups that are juxtaposed and united through scale, color palette, sound, form, space, and material. With the continuous pushing and pulling among the elements of this vocabulary, I am creating hierarchies of events and narratives, which compete and communicate. The groupings of objects and their placement within a particular space become a journey of discovery.

I develop pathways for the viewer to travel, I link micro with macro worlds, encourage notions of irritation, and implied movement of the objects and ask the viewer to relate oneself to the objects and the situations they present. Materials, found objects and colorful, kitschy, decorative supplies overflow the categorized shelves and bins in my studio. In fabricating these fairy-like worlds, I knit, cut, glue, sew, find, draw, fold, select, solder, saw, paint, decorate, carve, combine and mold. The making itself is playful and spontaneous. Intuition and design alternately dictate my working process, promoting the unexpected. – IMAGE DESCRIPTIONS: – 1. Beneath Such Dreamy Weather, July 2003.
