ARTIST STATEMENT
I seek to make art about the experiences of life that play a role in making us the people
we are…both by excavating the memory of the past and also by testifying to the events of
the present-with the earnest wish that in the creating, the personal is transformed into the
archetypal, and the connection between us is affirmed.
COMMENTS ON THE FIBER FIELD
I am most interested in working in three dimensions and by using fiber techniques and/or
materials, I am able to work virtually directly on the media with my hands… no brush or
chisel or torch between me and the art. So there is an immediacy, a control that few other
areas of art offer. That gives rise to a kind of intimacy which makes it easier to convey
emotion, and also a sense of continuity with artists and craftspeople of ages past who
created their works in similar ways.
