Starting from points of personal experience, my work searches out relationships of time, history, psychological structures, humor, crumbling empires and the mystical. I play between fact and fiction as works become blurred in the space of history and memory as mythology and evocation takes over. Painting reveals these unexpected places as a tangible illusion and records an archaeological, tactile way of working that becomes about shifting feeling and thought over time, leaving traces.

My current investigations are four projects, mainly on paper: one plays in the gap of mystery between punchline and question using shoe jokes that use art history styles; a second project gives homages to people throughout time using shoes and feet; the third project is an archaeological investigation of fragments from ancient Greece based on parables from various cultural sources; the fourth is a project where I record my dreams in image and text based on the ritual timekeeping work of artist On Kawara.

For process, I rely on searching through evocation rather than literal explanation. My process requires seeking through collage and mixed media to arrive at images that become changed again as I paint.

Painting lends itself to these concepts by recording an archaeological, tactile way of working that becomes about displacing feeling and thought over time, leaving traces.
