Artist's Statement

My work stems from interest in the unspoken, the unconscious that continually pushes through into everyday life. The half remembered dream, the peculiar strangeness that lives within the seemingly mundane, ordinary, the weaving of memory, fantasy and dream. The work that gets created is often directed by a remembered dream. I like to play with materials that excite me. The process of making is as, if not more, important as the final product. I like the work to be open to others to make of it what they will...
