With a focus on communication and information that exists beyond literal translation, my art is rooted in the natural world. It functions as a marking of wildness and inherent knowledge, both in the environment and in ourselves.
Born in a rural coastal area of North Carolina, I spent most of my childhood outside. Sunlight, warm wind, old trees and briny marshes became touchstones; the preference for wild spaces continues today.
In the works, random weave is an articulation of spaciousness in form. Structure and form are built simultaneously, line by line and layer by layer.
The sculptural works are an exploration of light and shadow, the physicality of laying down of a line, the capabilities of natural and found materials, and the working edge of structural integrity.
