“I create work that investigates relationships between layers of both spontaneous & deliberate material application, spontaneous pattern building and definitive linear elements. These layers are created using traditional drawing materials such as, india ink, chalk pastel, marker and paper, but are applied in non traditional ways with materials like polycrylic or through assemblage. I draw inspiration from our growing understanding of the sub atomic systems and mechanics involved in creating and maintaining our universe. It seems so absurd to me that billions upon billions of systems can be simultaneously cooperating in order to create our perceivable reality. With the vast and various types of relationships that can be established, I choose to create imagery that could represent any possible outcome. My latest body of work goes on to further explore these systems and relationships by considering the size and shape of the work as part of the imagery. With these considerations I hope to have broader conversations regarding the inherent interconnectedness all things share.”
