artist statement

My work is quiet. It requires a lot from the viewer—some time spent, some investment of attention to the details, to the subtle changes in tone or texture. This leads to more sensitivity so people begin to notice a changing in the light or the motion that occurs in the air if someone new comes in the space.

Beyond this shift in quality of attention, there are images and ideas embedded in the work to think about. Some of the images relate to ideas of randomness, of accident, of what some might call fate. Some of the images or referencing marks lead to ideas of what makes meaning, what makes something alive, and how many variations can exist. In the end, they all comment in some way on the nature of materials and our experience. The pieces challenge whomever encounters them to see differently—to see both the macro and the micro at the same time.
