About the Artist
"As a child I often thought there was an upside down world that mirrored mine or that the sky was a lid to a huge box that the world existed in. Discovering the existence of world mythology had me hooked into a way of thinking that my queries could be expressed. These stories often reinforced an idea I was working with and broadened my understanding or gave context to my visual imagery. Choice of materials were important. Clay had plasticity, ease in forming (and destroying) and at times was a surface for images, textures and colors. Paper became a great alternative to work more intensely with color and texture. The results are intriguing to me."
