In the production of my artworks, I like to maintain an open experimental attitude towards materials and tools. Building up layers, and gouging down to reveal what is below creates an opportunity for the unexpected to reveal itself. The unfolding of mystery is what pulls me forward, leads me into the unknown, embracing and/or grappling with whatever comes up. I manipulate the materials to express myself, to find my own visual language. My work results in a subtly nuanced, rich surface that resonates with memories of places I have lived and visited.
