when objects converge in a space
they start a dialogue about their lives
lives that become entangled with your life
your memory
objects are the narrators of memory
a stain, a chip, a tear
materials embed meaning and metaphor within the process of creating
woven cloth, throwing lines, squeezed and pressed coils
become remnants of the hand
as I make, play and collect materials and objects
questions are offered
How do these components talk to one another?
What are they saying?
How do I listen?
an attentive listener / / an intuitive maker
I seek to excavate spaces and analyze my findings
in hope of contemplation and examination
a moment where my art becomes artifact
where the unfamiliar appears familiar
connecting materials and objects that have anchored our human experience
to ask the unanswerable questions of human existence
