This work is informed by geologic features and fracturing earth, by the enduring nature of impermanence, by land as a topography of actions: compress, stratify, flow, shift, vent, exfoliate, aggregate, crack, slip, peel, crumple, dismantle. The cumulative distortions, upheavals, erratic shifting of terrain, seem to me metaphors for this era we inhabit, for a sense of surviving instability through instability. Thus, geologic-like structures emerge within the work—from the accumulation of layered marks or the suggestion of fissures and portals in the drawings and prints, or from layered forms in the sculptures—all aim to suggest activity below the surface or activity that is slowly revealed. In signifying a precarious tactile world, my work occupies a zone between representation and abstraction; it utilizes the transformation and synthesis of materials and imagery, essentially aestheticizing the residue of earthly fragility and decomposition and, in turn, the potential for regeneration.
