Artist Statement
I am making felt in new and unexpected ways, creating felt sculptures and environments from a flat, matte, dense material. Working spontaneously to change its structure, shape and surface, I challenge myself to produce dimensional, organic, textured forms.
In prior series I explored the effects of weather and time on our natural environment. My current series imagines large flowers that have been altered by human intervention...either through genetic engineering or as a result of climate change.
On a deeper, more meaningful level, my work is my emotional response to both the outer world and my inner nature.
My time in the studio is a deep and passionate experience.
I focus, take chances, hear my own voice, and remember who I am.
