Artist Statement:
I create art to express the
way I see the world, how it is
and how it could be. I put
together the tangible and
intangible, bits of color and
texture, tesserae of meaning.
For me, mosaic is all about
essential structures and
skeletal elements. My art is
strongly related to a sense of
place and a connection to the
land, seeing terrain in terms
of its geology and topography.
I remain fascinated with an
altered view of the earth on
which we all live, landscapes
both familiar and unreal.
I work in natural materials
(marble, glass, smalti,
minerals, golds, found
objects, etc.) exploring the
texture and the spaces in
between. Perhaps these give a
clue to what lies below the
surface. As my work becomes
more map-like, I seem to be
finding my way without knowing
where I am going. At the
moment, the illusion and the
contradiction fascinate me. Is
this a slide under a
microscope or a view from
outer space? I want viewers
to look at the world around
them with different eyes after
seeing my work.
