Artist Statement

I am fortunate to live in a landscape that shows me wonder. It reminds me of the preciousness of our planet, provoking thoughts on our moral obligations to each other and the natural world.Looking and noticing engages me in processes of mapping understandings through place and across time.

Artists are well placed to hold slippery, contradictory and complex things in reflective working processes, observing and developing connections. This is the manner in which I approach my work.  The archaeology of marks and objects invite investigation, to draw closer, connecting in understanding.

They speak to me of the individual, of the fragility of occurrences and the adjustments that can be made in understandings.
