Artist Statement:
I don't think my art or any
art can be confined to verbal
interpretation. I think that
all mankind has an impulse to
handle and make material
objects that in turn bring
pleasure. I am fortunate
enough to be able to carry
through this thought. My art
is my touchstone; it centers
me. There's a certain sanity
and satisfaction in my fine
craft. I get much pleasure in
handling the material I weave
with; exploring its visual and
tactile beauty. When I weave,
the repetitive motion itself
generates a meditative state
that allows me to explore my
fiber art at a deeper level.
It's very cathartic and
re-nourishing and leaves me
with a sense of well being.
There is inherent pleasure in
making, a "joie de faire".
The process of making my art
is more vital to me then the
subsequent work and perhaps
that explains the wide variety
in my body of work. I take
great satisfaction in knowing
that each piece will be "true"
in its own nature. Overall,
my baskets are much like my
friends, they speak at many
levels, have a multitude of
interests and are quite
entertaining....
