Artist Statement
Recently I have been working on surface texture and painting, finding inspiration in alphabets current and ancient, diagrams, maps, scientific/ mathematic images, patterns, and earth colors. I am constantly loading images, writings and music waiting for the subconscious soup to simmer and form a new idea (at least new to me).I find myself responding to found materials, building/layering 2 dimensional designs and 3 dimensional forms while quickly moving on to the next piece. “Flowing with ideas” that steam up from the mental soup vs calculated preplanning and formal studied approaches. On top of that I’m having an absolute blast making the work.
