ARTIST STATEMENT
The recent pursuit to learn color and form is my foreign language ~
It is the ex-pression, the pressing out, in search of a through-line when my words about life no longer served ~ I want my artistic attempts to penetrate layers offering sense making and sensual journeying into this new space that shimmers ~ I find myself seeking a new compass in this new terrain observing longitudes and latitudes of space ~~~ Trying to share this in form does not come easily; the new language challenging yet vibrating ~ But sometimes I find myself on the verge of a new thing.... and this is absolute joy ~~~
"Love at the moment it strikes us clean."
