—-Water needs to be touched as much as we need to be touched by Water—-

I am a visual artist and a movement researcher using the mediums of ink and Water. Aesthetics of change, beginnings and endings, life and death are central themes in my life’s work. I use Water —- rain, snow, creek, lakes and rivers —- to commune with the latitude and longitude where the creative process is birthed. It is through the gesture of gathering Water and following movement that I witness the non-linearity of natural cycles. I am a participant in an open-ended conversation with the abstract forms that lay within the conscious and unconscious patterns of collected memories. 

At the heart of my artistic ethos lies a fascination for documenting that which cannot be named. Each pour carries within it the echoes of past moments, the potential for future growth, and the ever-presence of the nowness. By documenting these experiences in the abstract, I seek to convey a language that represents a divergence in the nature of time and memory, inviting viewers to explore the interconnectedness of past, present, and future through the lens of Water's life-evoking possibilities.

The body of work you see results from a process of evaporation. I lay Water on paper, I invite ink and add movement if the encounter requests it. Movement variations can shift the work from containment to expansion. The invocation of contentment and containment is my latest exploration. Distilling the vastness of one emotion or memory into a single gesture of expression has been a life-long practice. This practice has allowed me to experience complexity in similarity, freedom in repetition, and altering perceptions of the way in which time is perceived.
