My work is the residue of my personal exploration of connection. Spoken through a simple yet formal language of visual images, it is a constant counterpart to my own interiority. We move and change from everything we come in contact with. Our memories and experiences are the structural images that give us a place to build on. These are our starting points that allow us to spread outwards, towards a world that is a crossing and intermingling of each individual pattern.

The combined myriad patterns of life are seen in glimpses and it is this larger picture, where we come into existence that I
contemplate. This is the space, within the moment of connection where the universe resides, where we as organic images become corporeal.

Drawing on inspiration from the landscape of human interaction, I work with metaphors and analogies used through the materials of cloth, wood and dye, figure and ground ambiguity, rich color shifts, reflective and non-reflective texture. I experience these through my sense and in a physical manner join with them. This connecting becomes a form of knowing it is an understanding through an incremental yet unlimited process of awareness and trust. When I work in this manner, I look into my own structure of being and simultaneously the transient and timeless splendor of the universe.

The excitement of exploring surfaces and their supporting structure comes with the notion of varying their individual elements or their placement while maintaining the delicate balance between them. Moving from the mere manipulation of fabric to an object infused with personal meaning, believing that the specificity of my own thoughts will read universally to others, I seek a more intimate relation with life and I revel in the ability to share the fierce and fragile beauty of the world.
