Abstract/Artist's Statement
There is more than convenience embedded into my attraction to the unrefined materials that I work with. Shopping cart (baby size), palette, cheesecloth, bucket, and window. Each is rich with an individual history that expands beyond the use it was intended for. Suspending them in the air is my observance of the sanctity of their mundane uses. To create something new, also out of these unrefined materials, and to refuse to polish it. To have resolution in a thing that is also ambiguous. I can find intrigue in a million different things as soon as I pay attention to them.
I would be thrilled to speak further. My number is 484.985.1026. Don’t hesitate to call.
“Absolutely unmixed attention is prayer.”
― Simone Weil, Gravity and Grace
