Artist Statement
"If I could explain it, I wouldn't have to dance it!" Isadora Duncan
My process draws on mosaic method to experiment with new techniques for positioning and unifying a variety of diverse yet harmonious materials. Many are found and reclaimed. I love the unique facets and textures created by time and weather. The affects of light in and on glass is a constant fascination too. Ranging from subtle inclusions of sea glass to more concentrated arrangements in stained glass. I like to work spontaneously allowing for changes or other suggestions as the work evolves. This process helps me to express individuality in each work through thoughts and feelings evoked between my ideas and the materials I am drawn to.Major influences in my work come from nature, ancient architecture and artifacts, intuitive art processes and slower making technologies resulting in organic, raw and often under-stated surfaces with an unearthed and timeless quality.
