Artist Statement
My recent work is a
reflection of identity based on the human fingerprint and other visceral
evidence. In response to patterns and rhythm in nature, I create organic forms
through the use of repetition and mark making. My work is process based,
starting with a simple intuitive mark and expanding into something completely
new, eventually establishing an order.
I started with the idea of the fingerprint, relating to personal identity. I was also thinking about the layers of personality, and what makes up a person's life. I experimented by dying rice paper, and then using an exacto knife to cut the paper in repeated order. I transformed these two dimensional surfaces into a three dimensional sculpture.
