Everyday materials interest me — somehow their unlikely suitability as potential art material parallels the unlikely possibility of forms in nature.  

I make art in reductive and simple steps, from materials that start with their own stories. I am interested in the making, the steps themselves, the actions that build relationships and structure.  

It is an open-ended process, not pre-determined, but I try to limit the choices when starting. It’s like turning the volume down on distractions. Going for the thing at hand, instead of the five thousand things seemingly at hand all the time.  

I get to a quiet moment, and I know this is the same moment of childhood that started my lifelong practice of art.

An interiority persists, through office supplies, hardware store items, the banal, the mass-produced.

Art draws the imagination, implies the intangible, finds a form for things not yet materialized: embodies an energetic potential.
