Statement

I explore the back and forth between structure and spontaneity:
​​Following rules and making waves,
Nestling in and venturing out,
Stillness and silliness,
order and flow
 
Straight lines morphing into meandering squiggles
Insistent textures erupting through placid surfaces
Colors shouting, shades subsiding
Arrows shooting, circles spinning
 
My work leaves evidence of my processes:
The rawness of linen torn
The puckering of stitches sewn
The suddenness of a ripped page
The whisper of a fading brush stroke
 
There’s a rhythm that’s inevitable and a melody that’s unexpected
And all I know is that it will change
