My artwork is about investigating the boundaries between the natural landscape, the human world, and the interior landscape of memories and associations.
I begin with shapes, lines, and colors that evoke memories of natural and human-made landscapes. My process is improvisational, embracing accidents, and guided by intuition and chance. As I work, shapes, colors, and relationships become areas of focus, then recede or are covered over; some are mysterious, surreal, or dreamlike, provoking new cycles of memory and association. As the work develops, ambiguous, mysterious, and intuitive aspects of the process contend with demands for order and resolution. The finished work is an artifact of a journey, its history apparent. What began with gestures towards the perceived world has been clouded by repeated upwellings of memories and associations, and the work points towards an interior, as much as an exterior, landscape.
