Artist Statement

Adapting to being in my body and being led by not just my eyes, but all the senses has provided me a path to experiencing the world purely and thoroughly.  In a gallery, walking down the street, or tromping around in the wilderness- I began the practice of emptying my mind of language and filling it with light and air.  

Here is an ever-changing space made to encourage a heightened use of the senses, predominantly vision and touch.  There are no images to look at, only almost-shapes to see as they effuse over indeterminately shaped space, morphing into and out of each other.  There are no objects to touch, but I encourage you to pay attention to air rippling across the hairs on your arm, the way temperature changes depending on where you stand.

The environments and objects I create are about the immediacy of that moment, not the urgency of it.  They are about being present, not analytical.
