my work seeks to expand and explore the discovery that i can use diverse materials from my past art to develop a body of work that integrates several past and present themes. i'm looking for a way to transform weaves and strands that have sometimes veered off into tangents. i've investigated diverse forms and media with a signifying mark and color dynamic and have sought not to repeat myself--series of explorations start out strong, use their ingredients to the max and then lead me to another series--an ongoing process. the physicality of the materials that i choose and the engagement of what is revealed and what is hidden, how both of these layer, cover, and replace one another, show my vision of art as life's process and the reliquary of art as object.
