ARTIST STATEMENT


My work deals with time as the vehicle of change and transformation visible in landscape and urban overviews.  I use photography and photo-collage as part of these mixed media and porcelain mosaic constructions, contrasting human and natural habitats.  Convex and concave mirrors, lenses and magnifying glasses draw the viewer into the pieces.

Mixed Media, Photography, and Porcelain Mosaic

The porcelain mosaics are imprinted with numbers, found objects, letters, and timepieces to suggest the fossil remains of traces left behind in the process of change, fracture, and transformation. 

Picture


The ongoing series of altered books provide a narrative, questioning the sustainability of high density urbanization, congested highways, as well as the loss of a sense of place as a result of globalization.

I use multiples and repetition of smaller works to create the elements of a larger installation.

“Placement”

My work deals with time as the vehicle for change and transformation.

In my recent work, I am interested in both the process, and the alarming rate, of urbanization and globalization.

These phenomena are changing our physical and psychic spaces.

The world-wide shift to high-density urban centres, and the relocation of people from the land to the city or from one country to another, can cause the loss of a sense of rootedness and the loss of belonging to a place and culture.

This process results in a relocation and re-invention of the self.

I work with fragmented mosaics, using fractured imprinted porcelain sheets, found objects, and photography.

The photographs are cut and altered to become part of the three-dimensional objects and panels that are placed as elements in gallery installations.
