Artist Statement
My current oeuvre evolves from a progression of previous work in
collage, assemblage, printmaking, wood and plaster sculpture,
and fiber structure. Through diverse media I continue to explore
a dialogue with the ambiguity of time and place perceptions as
well as that of matter and material.
Historic/geographic/culture-based premises are perpetually
examined and questioned.
I recycle and redefine found, industrial, and prosaic components
into forms that challenge their identity.
Myriad references inform my work, increasingly realized through
text and implied text. My sensibility impels this pursuit,
restructuring and revising the content and intent of objects,
materials, words, and images.
