I am attracted to the elegance and simplicity of line and circle. The symbolism of the circle fascinates me and I use all manifestations of its symbolic meaning in my compositions. The Enso, circle of infinity, reflecting both emptiness and fullness, is an integral element in much of my work. I use the open circle of the Enso to connect positive with negative space in order to dissolve boundaries between immateriality and the concrete world.

Maps continue on indefinitely, holding the promise of new beginnings, offering travel to unknown places and new information to learn. I find old, outdated maps and use a soldering iron to burn voids into maps, opening them up so that they can regenerate. Surfaces layered on top of each other create locational displacements. In this way I breathe new life into the maps, giving them a chance to find new places and a new place in this world.

My other works on paper are color coded systems based on the obsessive, mutable chatter of our internal monologues. These works describe the physical basis of emotions by mapping out molecular patterns generated in our brains when we arrive at various states of mind. Color variations articulate shifting moods while black arrangements express mental stasis.
