ARTIST STATEMENT

    
Every time I look at a blank canvas or a roll of fabric or even a blank computer screen my mind races with possibilities.  I am like a marathon runner who has only a mile to the finish line.  I get a burst of energy and suddenly nothing can hold me back.  Every day I set goals for myself and every day I know I will not finish all of them.  But the ones that stay with me, the ones that haunt me at night, are the ones I know I need to pursue.  These are the ones that need to get out; these are the ones that need to be seen. 

     Ever since I was a child I have turned my worlds upside down.  In my work, I enjoy putting things where they do not belong; sometimes a rock needs to be yellow or a car needs to be orange.  It strikes the viewer’s interest and they begin to think in ways they have not before.  I follow my intuition and when it feels right I know it is.   

     Currently, I am exploring film and what I can do with moving images.  I am very excited about the program Cinema 4D and what worlds I can create there.  The stories I thought were not possible for me to convey in regular film I realize can be created in a 3D program.  I will be able to give the viewer a window to my mind - the challenge is having the skills to build it.  But, like the marathon runner in me I know I have only a mile, or two, to go.
