STATEMENT
ABOUT MY WORK
My
recent work grows out of my love of nature, the earth and natural
materials. In the past fifteen years I have been using rock, wood,
earth, grasses, nuts and berries to make installations in galleries
and at site specific locations outside.
In
1997 when I was working on "Two Sticks in the Mud", a show
for Highwire Gallery, making mud mounds, mud balls, and applying mud
directly to the gallery wall I began to see possibilities of using
mud on paper. I became fascinated with the richness, texture, and
sheer fertility of mud, which seems to hold all death and all potential,
both real and imaginary. I began working on small and large heavy
paper, and this led to a one-person exhibit of 36 mudworks on paper
called "Mud Mother" at Highwire in 1998 which received three
favorable reviews...

I love the clouds,
and I continually throw water on my eyes."
