My current series is about dwelling. It is about the fundamental sensations of being in the world,  about the cross currents and pathways that lead us to where we are and where we are going that extend laterally across geography, and also the layers that extend vertically into memory and the depths of consciousness. The work is also about gesture and the way things resonate with, approach and touch each other. It is about the nesting of worlds within each other and the simultaneity of diverse experiences in the same place.

I enjoy the freedom to combine images of interior and exterior space, containment and flight, and the vast and the intimate. I am in awe of the fundamental phenomena of the straight and the curved and how one can become the other through shifts in perspective.  In my previous work with naturalistic landscape, I captured the magic of light, frequently seeking out intense contrasts between light and dark. Now the tonal shifts are connected to internal landscape - deep memory and hidden forces, promise and possibility – as well as evocations of exterior terrain.

 I build these dialectical relationships into a texture of closely woven tiny marks on a wood surface to suggest the cohabitation of our intimate nesting places with the immensity of our inner lives.
