I believe that different
drawing and printmaking processes influence my artwork on a regular basis. The
process plays a big role in what will be created, starting with something
unpredictable or hard to control then working back into it. Most of my
work has an organic quality referencing the body and things that you might find
in nature. As an avid collector of many things, especially rocks and shells,
these shapes show up a lot in my art. Dealing with relationships, comparisons
and clusters of objects, I like the viewer to look at groupings and analyze
what they are looking at, to compare and contrast. I enjoy the identity of an
object, a system or groping. The human body and the functions of other living
things are often something that I am thinking about. Why does something work
really well in our body and then when you introduce something else it can
completely break down and not work anymore? These systems that I am creating
are not necessarily a direct representation of a certain system but something
that I have created to either work or not work. I think that as artists we
are constantly collecting and analyzing materials. It is something that
influences us and satisfies a subconscious need. Is it the need to have massive
quantities of one thing, a need of preparation or just exploration? Maybe it is
to learn something new. For me, it is the thrill of acquiring a certain item
and in my artwork it is a way of showing objects all different but connected in
some way.
