Artist's Statement

 

 

 

I like to feel energy move!

 

 

I experience life and aliveness as energy moving; as feeling in motion. Much of my visual art expresses the radiance (light) of moving energy: the dynamic tension of potential fusion or propulsion; the balance of ground and subject that requires the viewer's participation as movement in experiencing a work; “real” space interpenetrating a work such that the work and its environment move with, and through, one another; and etc.

 

 

 Much of my inspiration is tactile – the feel of materials in my hands can be the siren to the next piece or series. I may also envision a work and then acquire the techniques to manifest it how I've seen it.

 

 

My artwork is significant on my spiritual path. The visions teach me of states; the processes teach me transformation of the physical world.

 

My gratitude for this path is inexpressible except through the work itself.
