The intention of my work is to bridge or serve as a
conduit between life lived and what is yet to be. I focus on the links between traditional
aspects of our human heritage and contemporary life experience. What remains of
this lived experience, be it a bone, stone or petroglyph, is my resource. Bringing this
evidence into a reorganized visual/physical form provides clues - perhaps even an oracle.
I am an Artist whose work often speaks through, and
is deeply rooted in the photographic process. This esthetic relationship has evolved to
balance photographic multiple imagery, collage and the photogram, often extending to
installation and sculpture. The mixed media art forms resulting from my process, are
designed to be physically, as well as intellectually, experienced.
Photographs record life lived, tracing the marks of
a culture, similar to a handprint or a fossil. I often work life-size with the Photogram Process, which serves to photographically imprint a shadow image in great, true-to-life detail, without the use of a negative,
camera or enlarger, but rather with direct contact of artifacts and objects to light-sensitive materials.
My life-long involvement with art
making and the
photographic medium finds me deeply immersed in the joy and insight of
continually being in process. I remain in awe of the magic of "silver
responding to light" and enthralled with the esthetic experience of life’s
multiple languages deepened through ART!
