“Through a contemplative process using found objects, recycled ephemera, words, color, metals, the metaphor awakens into a story. When I fully understand the metaphor I move to another, which most often presents itself to me through my dreams or meditation. This is a slow process as I am rarely ready to “art” the metaphors, dreams, visions without processing their meaning in my life, which can take days or decades.
This process of art making is my individual and indisputable connection to the divine. To the outside world the work looks eclectic in nature. To me, it tells the story of my growth and the evolution of my authenticity….my quest to make the invisible visible. The continuing theme within all this work is balance. Balance with self, genders, relationships, life. All the metaphors seem to be exploring this deep desire to find a world without duplicity.”
