Art should be experienced viscerally, not just visually; let me speak with you in gesture, shape, light, emotion.
As an artist, I am compelled to create work that examines my experience of being a human. I use my body and other materials to study and represent the intangible - clay, wire and a small paper dove to investigate grief, for instance. It brings me respite from some of my ruminations to contain them in these artworks; artifacts of safekeeping stored outside of my body. When viewers pause to consider the work, I am conversing with them in a language beyond words; a language of sensing, emotion, metaphor and art. It is the hope of making an unspoken connection with the viewer through the resulting artwork that inspires me to share the work.
