It is a transformative medium that constantly challenges my expectations . I often feel as if I am channeling something other-worldly , be it maps or what seems like conversations or communication . There is a sense of responsibility – that what I have to say has purpose and meaning , perhaps beyond my understanding .
Sometimes it ’ s hard but I go into the studio every day . I might just go through my things , or clean up , play with the found objects I like to collect or look through books . I play and explore the combinations of things trying to make sense out of it . Nature is one of my biggest inspirations . I don ’ t stress out if nothing is “ created ”. In the act of doing nothing the “ portals ” are strengthened and cleared .
I like to work on different projects at the same time . I am often distracted and that used to be frustrating , but it ' s who I am and at times just glancing at something will spin me into a different orbit for hours or days . Some pieces just come and are resolved quickly while other pieces could take years and go through many metamorphoses .
