My latest works, Ashtray and Proximities, are about pushing boundaries with color, form and material. They draw connections to collage, drawing, painting and sculpture. In Bite Down, I used paper for it’s skin-like physicality and for it to be an active repository of place, time and touch. I considered it both subject and object. 

Some of the fiber works offer a sense of cushioning and safety with their physical depth and density. Others are a return to my need to create a location of movement and complexity using collage.  Here the simple act of placement and proximity creates meaning, and the material and visual interruptions of collage speak of vulnerability, strength and freedom. Ideas that are important to me are connection, disruption, fragility and tension.
