Artist Statement
My
current oeuvre evolves from a progression of previous work in
collage, assemblage, printing, wood and
plaster sculpture, and fiber structure. Through diverse media I
continue to develop a dialog with the ambiguity of time and
place perceptions as well as that of matter and material.
Historic/geographic/culture-based premises
are reconsidered and recontextualized.
I reclaim
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 perspective drives this pursuit, restructuring and revising
the content and intent of objects, materials, words, and images.
