The subject matter of my work is psychological in nature and is based on the thoughts and emotions engendered by time and its passage, the relationship between light and matter, and the complexity and beauty of the material world. I am preoccupied with time–geological time, seasonal time, body time, and the simple awareness of one moment passing into another. Increasingly, I define my work not by style, but by sensibility. In working with found objects, materials, situations, and histories, I surrender and let them guide my process of art making. Surrendering is critical to true creativity and innovation, as it allows one to step out of the habitual and into the realm of the ineffable. Transparency, refraction, and reflection speak of the immaterial. Obsessive craftsmanship, repetition, and accumulation reinforce materiality. Analogous to the human condition, my work exists in the space between these two extremes.
