Artist Commentary

No matter what format or style my art takes, the pivot point of my visual explorations is sameness and difference. I like assembling a collection of visual elements that are markedly different from each other to see what happens. I want to be surprised by the juxtapositions of my visual cast of characters and then see how I can relate them to one another more formally. The artwork included in my current series, Printworks, contain mostly simple shapes that are distorted in some way – rounded triangles, irregular squares or circles, partial flowers – in high contrast colors moving across the picture plane. Season of the Witch - like the other pieces in the series - was created by printing my designs on white fabric and then cutting and arranging into a dynamic composition – where the meaning of each piece emerged as its visual elements came together.
