artist Statement

My abstract sculptures, drawings, and paintings are derived from chance events and forces found in the natural world. A vortex, a tangle of unruly vines, water carving its own path through rocks  all provide a framework with which to explore process and materiality.

My mixed media abstractions map not only a visual space but a psychological and emotional space as well. Through a build-up of layers tension grows as dualities such as chaos and order, growth and decay, and release and containment are explored.  I work with materials that are fluid, malleable, and unstable and look for a synthesis of form, line, and process. As I search for a resolution, structures reorganize from one layer to the next and refer to the complexity and ever shifting flux of the natural world.
