Artistic Statement
In my work, I incorporate a wide array of media such as paint, ink, pencil, wax, and various written texts into works which often explore the tenuous balances between power and fragility, eternity and transience, the sacred and the mundane.
Additional themes of ritual, memory, and imperfection appear from time to time as well. Also shaping my work is the Japanese aesthetics of “wabi-sabi,” which nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect. Inspiration derives in the many found fragments and cast-off ephemera found in my wanderings, old and decaying things, lost and fragile things, and imperfectly beautiful things.
Many works have also increasingly been influenced by the Northeast and all things foggy, mysterious, vaguely remembered, and blue-grey.
For me, these intimate pieces evoke a world veiled, powerful, and raw; a world of hope and longing.
