Artist Statement
“Domestic interiors also become the subject of paintings in which I create psychological spaces and explore the strangely human characteristics the objects reveal both alone and in relation to each other.”“I am interested in the area of transitional space between the 2-D, conventional use of painting and the move beyond the floor into amore inclusive, installation space. Given the liberty to work on several pieces at once I assemble and alter familiar objects to generate new meanings and readings. The space and nature of the work creates an installation environment, where the individual pieces and even the clutter on the floor can contribute to a whole piece. This organic development of an environment continues to challenge my pre-conceived boundaries of what I believe constitutes a painting.”
