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

I am a published poet and novelist. I began working in collage as a way to further indulge my fascination with story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have always loved old things: the milkiness of old paint, the stains and the ravels, the stories left behind. Most of my artwork involves found and recycled objects: old ledgers, receipts and certificates; graphs and architectural plans; newsprint and chicken-wire and laundry line. Many also make use of antique wooden windows, which serve as frame and template but also conceptual springboard. For me they offer a particularly rich and exploitable template: like sudden and unexpected purviews, they open us to juxtapositions in search of a narrative thread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much of my work focuses on issues of gender expectations and historical and evolving perceptions of femininity and sexuality. I am especially interested in the how historical expectations of what it means to be a woman intersect with and hinder current societal realities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My imagination tilts to the provocative, the visually arresting pairing or detail. Compositions are drawn from places I have known, sometimes through memory but also from my own photography. My palette is often muted, though, like life, shot through with small urgencies of color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
