Inspired by the immersive experiences I create, I make these impressions of touch. The act of touch, both constructive and destructive, can be seen in my art.
Destruction is part of life. So is separation, pain and grief. By focusing on the idea that everything is a portal, I can allow and accept what is, go through that portal and see what is on the other side. I like to use the paper on both sides; let the light and air pass through.
Making these works of wounds, of falling apart, of loss and letting go, gave me the excellent energy to choose to heal, repair and nurse until the whole became a new entity. A new thing full of beauty and softness. Where scars become jewels, scratches a drawing. Sewing becomes an adornment.
Another path is works with many layers, sanded until they are pierced. As we gather layers of experience and let interactions shape and sand us.
The immersive experiences I talk about form the basis of my art practice. It is in the interaction with the other that I encounter the universal.
I am honored by so many cooperative souls joining me in my research and proud to share these reflections in my visual art. Feel free to contact me and share your journey by experiencing these artworks.
