Artist Statement: Most of my work is researching how one thing passes to another and how patterns create form. Something felt, thought, heard, spoken. The ideology of blending, communicating, and transference. What are the different ways in which we come to understanding? I am interested in the way forms and patterns become representative of what we know of ourselves. The ways in which qualities that are not visible take form. Is it possible to know something outside of ourselves, outside our relationship to it, to be able to imagine or know/sense the true relationship of things among themselves.

Sensory perception or conglomerations of these experiences become memories. How do memories superimpose themselves on a present memory? The objects or found images I use have a memory also; traces of experience are physically visible. Time becomes unfixed, dissolved as our associations with the past shape the perception of the present. A space between sensing and knowing arises, as time becomes only an idea. There is a point where the mind ceases to imprint itself upon experience and the potential to receive a moment beyond thought emerges.

Can our sense perception become fine enough to feel space outside of time? An ability to create space for new experiences of moments that otherwise remain unmanifest/inert. I use abstract marks as a way to give space to form. The combining of objective representation with the abstract. A possibility of loosening ones perception of time as linear or existing at all, allowing an expanded sense of space. The layering of seemingly disparate parts to find seemingly unconnected qualities. The discovery of forms and how they affect each other.
