My recent drawing
and painting installations create freewheeling narratives: personal stories of
suspending gravity, traversing emotional vertigo, and sorting reservoirs of
memories. I
am fascinated by visual conversations that can occur between images and objects
that tangentially relate yet lack a linear retelling. Exploring the gaps
between visual perception and modes of representation, and possible
interpretation of these objects, provides a rich and fertile arena for my art
making.
In my studio practice I leave space for
interpretive play and experimentation. I collect meaningful images, imagined
experiences, or emotional conundrums. My initial responses take the forms of
gouache drawings; sculpture made from altered found furniture, creative
writing, an enacted dialogue, an Internet search and collage, or colliding
personal mythology with actual objects. It is in these chance combinations that
objects take on potential beyond what I might have immediately recognized. New
visual observations, personal insights, and metaphorical links are discovered
in the process of this exploration.
