Artist
Statement
My art is my search
It has become a continuum of
events, recordings and changes….
It is an unfolding of that
which is truly present but not always seen.
I find myself in the process that explores
the relationship between our internal,
creative forces and that of the world's
universal language.
The Series: Flesh & Rust,
(Photography & Encaustic) explores the
passage of time by the juxtaposition of
disparate elements: the softness of the
flesh/ the hardness of rust… It addresses
the process of aging and change.
My
Encaustic panels are constructed in layers
that are filled in, scraped down, carved
into, or piled up, just like layers of
earth. I enjoy working at multiple levels; I
let each material speak not always knowing
the result, but accepting it, without
question.
