My work draws on a satisfying relationship with the physics of nature. Drips are a staple design beginning on a two-dimensional surface: the loops between the drips remind me of figures, and that suggests narratives. Drips purposely taken farther become grids that refer back to years in cubicles- years of looking at landscapes through squares of glass. A childhood of peering through dusty window screens and venetian blinds. How the things you want are always on the other side of the lines and grids, and how time and place are measured in dollops of geometry. Sculpture has taken a more important role in my art this year, and is more representative than my paintings. I met a woman in 2017 who told a story of being forced by war to flee her native Ethiopia with her mother and sisters. They walked to Israel to find peace and to make a home. The meaning of that act has stayed with me, and this year works representing the Eve/ Woman's story prototype are coming out of a desire to represent women as we actually are. Sometimes that is beautiful, sometimes not, but always it is rooted in a deeper, more real place than is acknowledged. Found objects have begun to take part in serious work as well. I elevate the object as it is found, with little or no embellishment, and the results are accepted as the forms dictate: they encourage reconsideration when presented out of context as somber, thought-provoking messages or as pure fun. With found objects, the whole point is to consider them as they were found, and to help them evoke an equivalent response in a viewer as they did when I noticed them.
With every piece that comes out of the studio, the goal remains the same- to evoke an emotion or response to a presented idea, with the metaphysical conversation between the artist, the work, and a viewer creating a connection on a very real and elevated plane.
