About the Art
About the Process
I create artwork about the relationship between unseen forces and our lived reality. Discoveries in physics suggest a universe where the act of observation changes the nature of that which is observed; my works observe and map my view of this ever-changing dance of energy. The compositions draw on imagery from maps, physics, symbology and animism. I usually work in watermedia on paper I make from my own shredded trash. Some paintings I mount on wood panels; others become elements of large, sprawling wall installations. I compose the installations by pinning the painted papers to a cloth or paper over soundboard panels, and drawing between them with pastels, pencil, paint, thread and/or twine. These wall installations are often temporary; and I might change one several times before it is photographed, dismantled and the elements re-used in a new piece.About the Process
