My work considers the primal experiences that transcend time and place, the skin and bones of our existence-  what instinctively is done for self-preservation. Repetition plays an important role.

Recent work draws especially on the process of building and unveiling protective layers, questioning what lies beneath.  Intuitive choices made to conceal or expose our vulnerabilities reveal our primal natures, stripping away our intellectual selves.

Whether drawings or sculpture, materials of hammered metal, cast glass, steel wire, stained paper, ink, deteriorated mesh and recycled billboard paper are methodically manipulated, almost a ritualistic process and often ambiguous as to material and dimension.  Works from the "opening" series focus on the space beyond the line, defining the opening, and are at once deliberate, yet spontaneous, rigid, though fluid.
