Utilizing a two-dimensional format through the use of adhesive-backed vinyl and interior latex paints, my installations
ignite complex optical relationships between space, form and color. Color becomes the concept of the work in a physical
way, building three-dimensional space with two-dimensional materials. With each new environment, my works’ form,
color and composition alter and expose a structural framework of both physiological and psychological possibilities.
The sculptural
pieces I create are made from wood scavenged from local building sites. Chopped, painted and screen printed
the separate sections are then joined together to create relief-style wall mounted works.
This three-dimensional format pushes color into a realm where its materiality exemplifies an otherwise undisclosed
taciturn expression.
My two-dimensional works are investigations of color interaction and the significant roles shape
and pattern play in those relationships. The pieces are vehicles to immediately utilize a more extensive range of colors
and materials while juxtaposing contrasting hues to create context.
Employing both traditional and digital photographic
techniques my photographs are a documentation of the artist as prop to her art and the artmaking process. Hand-constructed masks, costumes and scenery are also used to create
circumstances both nondescript and didactic.
