Artist's Statement

Words are important in my work, either the text itself combined with the image, or the associations that they carry.

Fabric.. stitching... torn... frayed... old... worn... remnants... plasters... wounds... scars.. patched-up... dilapidated... collaged... nailed... stapled... mended... layers held together or hanging by a thread... buried... revealing... hidden secrets beneath the surface...   These words reflect the tenuous nature of piecing together the past, how memories can be strong, fleeting glimpses, or just fragments that remain.

Combining various printmaking techniques, my work deals with impressions of past experiences, locations or events, of forgotten language and conversations remembered.
