For me, written and spoken language has always been inadequate to express my life experience. However, I am continuously interested in the ways in which thoughts and energy move through and around me, how meaning is then constructed, and how this meaning takes physical form. In my work, shapes and symbols act as linguistic devices to convey and record meaning. I approach materials intuitively, and purposefully interact with their inherent and resonate energies. Through the ongoing process of discovery and rediscovery, transformation and retransformation, I understand life in ways I would not otherwise comprehend.
