Artist Statement
Through my work I strive to create a space for memories, for meditations on the past and on the passing of time, to explore the relationships that are not lost through death. The daily interplay between past and present, between memory and imagination, the overlapping spaces in the physical and emotional landscapes of our mortal consciousness are themes that are central to my exploration.
I am particularly interested in the eidetic spaces of landscape and imagination; in the places that are simultaneously ingrained in us but exist elsewhere. I believe that those spaces are expansive and specific, personal and universal. These intangible landscapes, understood vividly through the senses, become spaces that are integral to one’s identity. It is in these composite landscapes of imagination and memory that I thrive.
Within these themes, I seek to engage my work, the audience, and myself in conversations about the opposites that exist at the very core of mortal consciousness: the infinite and the ephemeral, the eidetic and the distorted, the rooted and the rootless, the mortal and the preserved, memory and forgetting.
