My work begins with the idea that I have lost something deeply essential that I must find. In this way, my process assumes the role of a search. The search initiates as a spontaneous response to the surface and materials and a willful sampling of color, symbol, and hybrid figuration. Each piece is based on a personal memory and functions like a blueprint for a machine that can process and give form to the memory. The visual description of physicality allows for the memory, the work’s initial source, to evolve into something more independent and free.
