ARTIST STATEMENT

Each piece of work has its own starting point, memory, sensation. The fragments that inform my work, can be fleeting, a simple gesture by a woman on the bus, a line in a song or the way my cat sleeps on the couch.  Each is defined in my work by the interplay between artist and materials. 

My studio practice is informed by these fragments of the internal and personal allowing for accidents, urges and surprises.  I have come to entertain a level of unease and thrill that comes from not knowing the end result of a piece.
