My work derives its imagery from the accumulation of strands or veins that recall the weft and warp of

existence. Time, space, and color are part of the material of this fabric.

They grew from previous work that articulated aerial images of urban grids and windows of meditation.

The desert landscape where I now live has worked itself into the imagery. Stratified rocks near Joshua Tree

National Park have replaced the urban settings. The work is based on the powerful forces that have built

this landscape, its layers and layers created over vast periods of time by rock, sand, and color–in places

worn by desert flash floods, jumbled by earthquake faults, and modified by animals both large and small.

The dense population of lines in my work reflects an inner environment as well. Waves emerge in heaped

up strings of consciousness, form, feelings, habits, and thoughts. Muscles, bones, energies, emotions, and

color stir mysterious energies . Forms seemingly arise from nowhere, come into being, gaining mass and

momentum, and then dissipate. They accumulate, gather, and strengthen, bit by bit, to form interlocking

patterns.

These pieces are inspired by meditative practice and the natural environment, and here these influences

have coalesced and taken shape in ways that are wild and unexpected, as in the world inside and outside

all of us.
