This natural environment is our home. The pace of it is slow, enduring, allowing space for vulnerability. Vulnerability and the intimacy created by this grace of space is our human condition.

All my work has an intimate focus on our most complex of syntax, that of dying things, intricately explored through nature and personal experience. This process immediately extends my experience to connection with others. We feel it. Then it connects us to archetypal “Eros”: the life force felt in our bodies that embraces the uncanny and the inexplicable. Creative visual memory reconstructs our lives and greatly enriches our understanding of our human condition of connection to all beings. Visual poetic nourishment sustains our vulnerability.

My camera is a sketchbook: a daily journaling of glimpses, barely audible sights not just articulate to consciousness. Rather, a flow of preconscious suggestions to inform with meaning at a later date.

Objects found in my path become curious with memory when worked into my process. The intense physicality in nature; the shear will of its materials; a material will is what is most riveting. Working processes of building, sewing, wrapping, gluing, modeling, cutting and growing I seek this “integration of process with my feeling state”.  The intimacy of vulnerabilities the connection to a feeling state, our human condition becomes articulated.
