I make drawn or photographed images of children and structures related to childhood games and play. I change the scale and meaning, often floating the images in empty spaces out of context, or crop them to produce alternate or ambiguous meanings from the simplest of everyday gestures.

My work can suggest fear and anxiety or suggest healing, a hope for situations in which we have no control: protecting one another.

The materials that I use reflect my subject and concerns. I use fragile paper, such as Mulberry, Jumi Silk and Gampi, glass, shadows, translucent layers of gauze or velum, and fabrics such as silk or felt.

I intend some of my work to seem to float, like a suspended printed blanket, rocking gently and distorting the images through movement. I have produced printed editions, sometimes altering works to produce unique works on paper. Texture and touch are a significant aspect of my working process. The shadows are one of the elements of my work, providing another form of reproduction. As I am ambidextrous, my interest in doubling images has been an ongoing focus.

The sources of my work are my own photographs which are spontaneous and staged, drawing, found and altered images, and, more recently, an increased use of medieval sources. I reuse many images and continue to alter them through process and material as they continue to resonate meaning and emotion. Currently, I collage strips of crushed glass canvas or paper onto large empty paper to focus on the structures surrounding childhood from playgrounds, games and other sources, physically delving into the forms as they are pared down and removed from their surroundings.
