I am someone who needs to be many things to be one thing at all. In being human, there are deaths that I habitually return to before reaching further into my imagination and coming together with the makings of my heart. Isn't there an abundance of life in the moments we know curiosity and peace, and a feeling of death when all signs of these things are absent? Art that comes from both of these places teems with the cyclical energy of renewal. It is rich and childlike as much as it is grave and old. 

 

When we tell stories, we listen most closely to those that reveal the truth and humanity in a person, situation, or an object. So when I make art, my goal is to let my story come more freely than I can perceive any other way. To use my art as a means of knowing, released from conscious judgement. Suddenly, every outcome is an articulate emotion, one that is translated only by feeling to those that have use for that feeling. This is why my current body of work is titled with a recommended course of action. By wondering more about what is between us that we cannot see or speak, we still have a chance to understand each other. It is our invitation to invite the invisible.
