Organic forms, textures,
and objects are the driving influence behind my prints and
sculptures. I am intrigued by the interrelationships that
exist within nature. The pod that protects the seed is not
unlike the mother who instinctively strives to protect her
child, or the unique transformation that occurs when a caterpillar
metamorphosis’s into a butterfly or moth is not unlike
the maturation process that occurs for humans. The pod and
the cocoon serve as protection for the seed and the caterpillar
during vulnerable states of transition. As such they are
interesting symbols of protection and are also just one
aspect of the life cycle that occurs repeatedly throughout
time. These are a few of the thoughts the natural world
inspires me to contemplate and respond to through my art.
My work is a conversation with nature and
the process mediums of printmaking and sculpture. I work
with organic forms in order to suggest the emotional relationships
we share with the natural world. An important aspect of
my working method is process. I enjoy variables, multiples,
and patterns. Printmaking and sculpture enable me to develop
a conversation with the medium due to the process and technical
nature of each. The ability to make multiples and variations
of an image are significant to the final body of work as
I explore various possibilities.
