Statement

I trust my unconscious knowing that to work with an “unknowing mind” keeps you at the intuitive center of your creative being. I strive to make work that is somehow in touch with some fundamental force but gives voice to doubts. Art making has always been confirmation of my own identity. I am dependent on it.

I have had a longstanding foundation in process-oriented art. When process work functions at a high level it moves toward its own autonomy. It definitely calls attention to the meditative labor involved in the construction. The repetition of marks or lines in different values or colors creates a meditative and atmospheric perception. At best one hopes for a transformation for the viewer. I’m interested in abstraction that has only the faintest of the subject’s actual form. In the back of my mind I have always been in search of imagery halfway between abstraction and representation, perhaps between the commonplace and the extraordinary, between reality and dream.
