Artist Statement:
My current body of work
explores the passage of time
and the fragmentation of
memory during the moment of
perceiving. In each moment
hundreds of small gestures are
expressed, motions taken,
words spoken, sounds heard,
and images recorded. I use the
impression of these moments by
condensing, grouping, double
exposing and blurring images
and found objects and thus
have constructed a more fluid
and emotionally charged
interpretation of passing
time. By presenting a fuller
and more abstract recording of
perception and emotion my work
captures the wonder, confusion
and fullness of the whole
moment.
My work begins in a specific
location gathering fragments
of sound, image, smell and
emotional response to
environment and space. I
collect and accumulate many
images and found objects based
on time spent in a specific
location. From this collection
process I make a series works
that include artists’ books,
digital prints, c-prints,
light boxes, installations and
sculpture. This process of
working through an idea is
similar to alchemy as I let
the work and my research guide
me.
