Artist Statement

My art, as my life, moves in rhythm with natural processes and cycles of time and these are the dominant themes in my work. I seek the personal and the universal. I often include organic elements or recycled materials with real and implied transformations taking place in the work. My working process is ritualistic and accretionary. My installations are typically room-sized collages of various fragments, assemblages and accumulations of processes I have been engaged with for over 15 years. The multifarious forms these works have taken include, but are not limited to: sculptures, drawings, paintings, prints, photographs, performances, lectures, videos, and collected objects.
