StatementMy work is a mode of communication a transfer of meaning, a sharing of happenings, ideas, transgressions and transformations, but it is in the how that is key to me. I push beyond stepping into a space where all is unknown, unwritten, timeless, to create transmutations rooted in the human experience. Improvisation and spontaneity are vital aspects of what “lifts the veil” of the “essence” within. This process that involves an acquired understanding, intuition and instinct are what sets me free to discover and experience a fluid engagement of self-reflection within the moment, a celebration of life and living that is realized in my creative process. Dissonance engages with a contrapuntal complexity with the means of mark-making mediating between drawing and painting. At the same time, “inclusivity” sets the stage. I engage without a scripted preparation, drawing from a vast ocean of happenings that mysteriously unfold. Like life – pulsingly poetic, strangely harmonic, wonderfully bizarre, disarming and spatially challenging merging the inner experiences to outer happenings, reminding us that no story ever really ends.
