Statement
There has been an apparent
thread in my art that weaves from early prints of the 1960Â’s
through later collages and assemblages and ties into the current
installations. That thread is a curiosity about the mystical.
I am intrigued with
combining the remnant of memories, fragments of relics and ordinary
objects, with the components of technology. It's a way of delving
into the past and reaching into the future simultaneously. The
art itself becomes the bridge.
Curiosity
about the unknown
has no boundaries.
Symbols, images, place and cultures merge.
time slips away.
The stars, the cards, the mystic vigil
may hold the answers.
By shifting the point of view
an inner spirit is released.
Free to create.
