When I became more adept at the dance, I felt
compelled to translate my experiences using the
two dimensional materials that abounded in my
studio. Through the media of charcoal and oil, I filter
those transient glimpses of couples moving in an
embrace and my own personal experience in that
embrace into another interpretation of the tango.
Like the dance, it’s physical. I want the viewer to see
my hands at work, I want them to see the process.
Yet, unlike the dance, my artwork is not fleeting.
This is important for me. Those sweet dance mo-
ments are so ephemeral. When they are gone, all
you are left with is the memory. But here, in these
two dimensional works, whether on paper, canvas,
or board, they are always there.
It’s an endless tango.
