STATEMENT

With space and rhythm as a starting place, I then investigate expansion, contraction, the finite, and the infinite. I discover a rhythm while I work, as color and shape, light and dark balance to create movement or stillness. Rather than describe a place or location, I try to convey a sensation of space. What it feels like to be in space or to be in a place or a body moving among spaces large and small. I choose paper for its texture and color depending on the effects I want to convey with pastel, pencil, erasers, ink, and paint in my drawings.
