About my work
All of my work begins on location with walking, waiting, looking, drawing, mapping, and gathering. Each site presents itself in a different way and so my process is discovered through this engagement with “place” and then with paint or paper or mud or stones.
I see narratives in the lines of waterways over the earth’s topography. There is language in the pattern of residue and shaped chaos at the high water mark. There are signs and portents in places of extraordinary natural beauty and extraordinary natural disaster. The marks and debris left at the water’s edge create a form of writing … each day telling a new, yet familiar story. My work is my translation of what I read there.
