In my work I have a tendency toward geometric abstraction.  Simplicity & order is an overriding concern: order through geometry & design.  The resulting works are often based on grids and lattices that occur in the natural world. My goal in my current work is to perturb/transform the underlying constraining abstract grid by using simple concrete objects of everyday experience and transforming them into balanced designs.  They are about life and structure. They are about the real world in relation to the abstract world. They are about the universal in the everyday.  Politically they are about a struggle against hegemony/domination.

I am very fond of collagraphs.  I find the actual tactile experience of building the plates, is as interesting as the finished print.  It also allows me to indulge in my passion for found objects.  In my designs I have recombined torn pieces of paper & stitching which results in the interplay of vertical & horizontal lines: I find the results of this practice analogous to those of a painted line.

In the last year I have added mixed media to my printmaking explorations.  The use of new materials and the adoption of a new attitude toward printmaking practices has inspired me to revisit earlier work and to approach my new work with renewed/revitalized ways of seeing and expression.
