ARTIST STATEMENT
 
Statement Three-dimensional Work:
 
My work is driven by process. Raw material is gathered, selected and manipulated to create further material. It is combined and reworked until the final piece is completed. The act of involvement with the materials ultimately dictates the final form.  Each series explores the balance between containment as comfort versus confinement. The notion of what is kept secret versus how much is revealed.
 
Statement Two-dimensional Work:

The drawings are a visual recording of the processing through life. Reflected, are periods of time from one hour to months or even years. It is about finding balance between the unpredictable nature of emotions and the need to present a cool front. Chaotic energy slams up against control and structure. The push and pull. There is a pleasure found in sorting through the variations of responses, reactions and attitudes within any given day.
