Artist Statement
My works are as much about what I have left in as what I have taken away. Starting with layer upon layer of drawing, erasing, then covering the same areas over and over again. My process focuses upon surface changes and the shifting and pushing of the mediums. New shapes and structures always appear on the surface, some dredged up from both my memory and imagination.
Each piece explores what is intimate, what is on display -- either cherished or abandoned. Images unfurl and curl up, folding and unfolding at the same time. Secrets are not confidential, but exposed. The spectator is given glimpses around corners that are in motion. The viewer is motionless, held in place, a place safe, but inescapable.
Imagine a puzzle with ever infinite changing pieces and solutions; that is what my process means to me.
