“My work is about transforming an array of organic materials resulting in sculptures that recall objects that haunt the periphery of my memory a long forgotten book, unfolded rugs, or half-constructed vessels. My materials are hard and soft, strong and vulnerable – from oxidized metal, steel, and aluminum to cocoons, tulle, silk yarn, handmade paper and recycled industrial felt. The resulting works are constructed with materials altered by the passage of time, mixed with diaphanous, pliant and inherently fragile elements – all of which I deliberately cut, tear, bend and reconfigure. Despite the range of materials, my forms summon a neutral palette that call attention to the subtlety of hue unified with attention to edges, layers and repetition accenting the paradox of opposition and unification in the work.”
