STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My work begins with discrepancies, mistakes or even lies. I\u2019ve dug into our self-deceptions about warfare and sexual violence; unpacked cultural delusions about femininity and explored our narcissism in relating to animals and nature. Lately, I\u2019ve pared down to ink on paper and the exquisite moment of making a mark\u2026combining it with things older or bigger than my moment by restraining the ink in gilding, or by combining it with astronomical diagrams or 19th century photographs. I continue to explore human violence and delusion, but after working with that darkness for 25 years, it feels better when contained in book forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I work in series, components or other repetitions. For me it is not possible to make one thing that expresses my thoughts and feelings around an idea: I consider my series as single projects; I create installations of 10, 100 or 1000 components; in my recent ink work, making marks on many pages is a way of understanding consciousness and awareness and a moment in time\u2026of the passage of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
