Artist Statement:
I like to feel energy move. I
experience life and aliveness
as energy moving, as feeling
in motion. Much of my visual
art expresses the radiance
(light) of moving energy: the
dynamic tension of potential
fusion or repulsion; the
balance of ground and subject
that requires the viewer’s
participation as movement in
experiencing a work; “real”
space interpenetrating a work
such that the work and its
environment move with, and
through, one another; and etc.
Much of my inspiration is
tactile – the feel of material
in my hands can be the siren
to the next piece or series. I
may also envision a work and
acquire the technique(s)
needed to manifest it how
I’ve seen it.
My artwork is significant on
my path. The visions teach me
of states, the processes teach
me of transformation in the
physical world. My gratitude
for this path is inexpressible
except through the work
itself.
