My artwork is inspired by the natural world. I find the eloquence of ordinary elements, like dirt or fenceposts, as fascinating as extraordinary landscapes or specimens, like an allée of magnificent plane trees. It all beckons me to be quiet and to behold. As Gustave Flaubert put it, “For something to be interesting one only has to look at it a while.” To quietly behold is to be transported from cognitive awareness to the ungraspable beyond.
Then there is an intuitive, artisanal activity that forms a dialogue, or passage between Nature outside and Nature inside. My artwork is a manual and sensual practice with this awareness of the ungraspable.
