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

Making art is a way for me to express my delight at the visual world and equally, my attempt to reconcile the apparent chaos of everyday life.<\/p>\n

I am moved by the intricate patterns of nature and the man-made world–from cracks in the sidewalk or a spider\u2019s fragile web illuminated in the morning dew, to the weird ropey formations of pahoehoe lava. And I am disturbed by the violence and inhumanity of life on our planet. These dichotomous feelings find their expression in the lines, shapes and textures of my abstract collages.<\/p>\n

Utilizing paper from various sources–the yellowed pages of an old book or some bright photographic image–I decontextualize and build relationships among the pieces, often alongside my own marked papers, until a satisfying composition emerges.<\/p>\n

I am essentially a curator of disparate elements and as such my task is more about seeing than doing. Through an intuitive process of construction and deconstruction I am seeking a vision of beauty and harmony where all experiences of reality may co-exist.<\/p>\n
