Artist’s Statement: My multi-layered artworks have their beginnings in discarded books. The artworks reflect my interests in reading and the natural world. I reconfigure the pages and play off their images and meanings using drawing, painting, image transfer, collage, and sanding. As I work the surfaces using these additive and subtractive processes, I discover new connections among the various elements and patterns – both real and imagined. With these improvisations of color, shape, scale and meaning, I hope to evoke a sense of curiosity and mystery about the workings of the natural world and our relationship to it.
