Artist Statement
I am very interested in the
aspect of our aging society
and its accompanying issues of
loss of earlier strengths,
health and death itself. I
believe art can convey
something special about this
later period that has a beauty
and a sadness not accessible
in the youthful era of life.
As a result, my latest artwork
and Book Art investigates
obsolescence and aging. I
have started to write poetry
and incorporate my poems in my
books thus intertwining the
visual and verbal arts. It is
in this format that I bring my
previous experiences together.
I have continued to develop
books that travel on both a
physical and metaphysical
journey. These themes are
explored through personal
history, aspects of aging,
meanings across cultures and
places, and concepts of
nature. I make books with few
and simple materials. I love
to travel and produce portable
art relating to my travel
experiences and my observation
of my themes in other places.
