I consider my work to be an ever-evolving investigation of the relationship between materials and imagery. The processes and materials I choose are essential to the realization of images. Whether drawn, collaged, inscribed in clay, printed, or painted, the images derive form from the characteristics of each material. The aim is to evoke an experience of images that is both visceral and expressive.

My work explores ideas filtered by the relationship of the physicality of the human body with the dreamlike, elusive world of the mind. My images are often inspired by human anatomy- its framework, organs, cellular structures, systems and processes. These elements, crucial for function and reproduction and subject to dysfunction and disease, have become symbols whose potency transcends mere biology. I see the human form as a significant and compelling source for visual investigation and introspection.

Dreams have also become important in my work, reflecting and reprocessing the chaos and disorder of external events and the settings in which they occur. As a result, structural elements of landscape imagery have begun to emerge in my work. This juxtaposition of physical existence, dreams and landscape broadens my ability to explore that relationship between the individual and the greater realms of nature, culture and the world.

For me, art is about the ability to move beyond rationality and reflect how the mind operates- weaving trains of thought into a complex web that links deep within the subconscious. This rich language enables us to seek out the depth and potency of ourselves and our lives.
