My work questions the relationship between things living and energy. I study cells, seeds, viruses, medicines, space physics, and circular forms. Contextual aspects of my work address transcendence, and human physical and esoteric energy. My work often has a departure point from contemplating images and recalling experiences that involve memory and human energy. Some of these have included microscopic virus and pollen images, and additionally circular forms created by the Dervish and Kecak performers. Additionally, some of my work explores how text and written words are linked to texture. Words on a page function as textures to the retina, and they can dually serve to visually communicate a message without literally signifying denotative meaning.

In my studio I work on multiple images during work sessions. Commonly one work finishes first as I develop others. Sometimes the material tests I produce are pleasing and yield works in themselves. It is not uncommon that I wait until the following day to decide which are completed once the wet surfaces have dried. However, my most confident art making occurs when I am manipulating fluid materials on the surface of my image, lacking some control of them, but working with them. This rare and graceful moment of harmonious dialogue between me and my materials is an aspect that I crave in my work process.

Visual aspects of my work include texture, organic-shaped circles, text, and the relationship of micro to macro. Most of my work is non-objective, mixed media and involves pushing familiar materials to vulnerable points. This alchemic type process facilitates unexpected visual effects that result from a mix of control of materials and my initial inability to control the precise outcome of them. My recent explorations have taken me to video, sound, light, recontextualization of natural vs man-made objects, and written instructions for works of art.
