At a certain point, I became conscious of an extreme duality, of things not always being what they appeared. The difference between real and unreal became unclear. Artistically, this was a defining moment. Boundaries in life are often unclear. My work originates in this darkly humorous, inappropriate place.

 

I make sculpture, installations and photographs by the combining of many dissimilar elements. These have included fur, knitted yarn, clay, glass beads, hair and newspaper.  The use of different mediums for me mirrors certain qualities of life: changeable and always in motion.

 

My work presents an intentionally fragmented narrative. Each piece stands alone but also exists as part of the larger thread.  I am interested in objects and images that exist both as framework and metaphor, like bone beneath skin, and the truths that can ultimately be seen to intersect or to lie beneath what is defined as “most real”
