Etching was a passion of mine for many years. It harbored an emotional breadth and depth rooted in my childhood and brought a found beauty to melancholia. The process had the feel of a psychological dig. I found myself drawn in by those relationships lying beyond the ordinary field of awareness. And would at times conjure up my own past to incorporate elements of personal meaning. So integration of such things as x-rays, dolls, birds, and ephemeral memorabilia came naturally for me. I sought an intimate and thought-provoking imagery…one that would connect me with the worlds of both matter and spirit, and serve as a channel through which I might find an alternative healing and balance in my life. I employ a similar approach in the contemporary abstract work I produce today.
