I am a mixed media artist. I work in any medium that captures my interest and accomplishes the goal of the current piece.My process is one of discovery and evolution where the original concept rarely makes it to the finished piece. I begin with a thought, an image, a found object or something I overhear or read. Relationships happen out of random happenstance. I rely on acciedents, chance and the process of trial and error.
Currently I am infatuated with wax, it is luxurious and sensuous, it melts, melds and creates a membrane for my work. It is indeed the tissue that holds the serendipidous mirad of stuff that is my work. It is like skin.
As I work, juxtapositions that seem to randomly happen give reason to the vast disconnection I feel to everyday life and help me to organize the noisy bombardment of stimuli.
I draw, paint, collect and connect. I read,collage,build, sew, listen and observe. My muse is an unconscious intiution and my decisions are made as I go.
The work itself creates and re-creates who I am and who I become. It contains my life and speaks of my experience. My art is a construction of self.
