My work is somewhere between abstract and completely non-objective. At times there seem to be recognizable images in my paintings, but these images lack definite boundaries and oscillate between possibilities. I am interested in the tension that occurs when perception is not absolutely clear. I piece, paste , mold,paint over and fuse together fragments that tickle the imagination,stir the senses, and evoke an air of mystery and illusion.I utilize both a control of the medium and an allowance for the accidental. Shifts of the image occur while I work and become part of the finished piece. The completed painting is my response to the unsettling relationship between random acts and carefully planned decisions. In every work I am concerned with the physical properties of the material and the metaphorical content of the image.
