Although Drawing and Print media form the basis of my studio practice, concepts and process determine projects. I have worked with hand paper-making and hybrid print processes to produce work that explore our existential struggle to find space between inhale and exhale and mark territory between sense and non-sense. The edge that holds memory. The manner in which we experience things seems to me to be entirely abstract and most accessible by indirect observation.
