I document time and transformation by collecting, repurposing, and recombining materials. I explore the intrinsic qualities of materials and combine them to create new ways of looking. Hybrids of reclaimed wood and synthetics like foam and tapes are transformed from patined flat to undulating surfaces, creating new landscapes. My work is influenced by topography, geology, process, and chance.
I reuse materials and love the transformation process. I value reducing my carbon footprint. Chance and control jointly influence my work. Working with what materials I have available and controlling how materials are transformed are part of my work.
Forms and processes in my work are metaphors for personal transformation. My adult life is a journey of learning and discovery, both artistic and personal, correcting what is broken, removing what is unnecessary, and trusting the process.
