Artist Statement

My artwork has been about a sense of place, flows of nature, about water, what it does, where it goes, how it manifests, and what life would be without it. Place, memory, the artwork is multi-centered, an epoch of simultaneity, juxtaposition, near and far, side-by-side. My artwork has been about landscape and my relationship to it. It is a way of seeing the world.  My personal relationship to place has to do with how my history and relationship with a culture are formed.  The artwork is a memory which defines place.  For me space has become a physical, experimental component where culture and meaning is defined. I see land/earth in a larger view, not so much localized and recognized as picturesque but symbolic in ways which includes detail. It is a deeply embedded understanding of what is sensed and seen.
