In my work, I walk through who we are, what we do and why. I address fear and love, the main forces at work in us. Existing together in opposition, they are the paradox of our existence. I talk about body image, loneliness, ego, exclusion, self-doubt, and all that comes from the fear of not being enough, of not being loveable. I discuss the power of connection, resilience, honesty, generosity, and all that comes with the need to love. I bring these together to ask the questions that can lead to an acceptance of our paradoxical selves.
Working between the primal/subconscious and the narrative/consciousness. Answers bring an end, so I look to questions that lead me into an otherness seen darkly. In the normal I see the abnormal, in the abnormal I see what is normal and somewhere in that comes acceptance.
The mark, from primal gesture to architectural alignment, is used to orchestrate embodiment. Color is used to codify the experience of otherness and place. From these come the body, which leads us into the questions that, hopefully, lead us away from fear into love.
