Rivers, sidewalks, and desire paths guide us into unexpected pockets that transport us to other worlds. In my work, these places become simultaneously compressed and expanded. They bridge sites, time, and objects that are visited-imagined-theatrical-psychological. My practice draws from the logic of fairytales, invention, mnemonic images and wonder to excavate landscape’s in/stability.
My paintings and drawings are analogies depicting everyday icons. Historic monuments and flora and fauna join with others imagined, like witches, peering eyes, and unicorns. I explore the possibilities of association through the juxtaposition of forms that are of cultural and personal significance. Narrative is revealed, and then unravels into dreamlike familiarities. Marks distinguish form, and patterns create an energetic pulse throughout the environment. To navigate through the work is to lose oneself on the journey and to see what unfolds between the space and place of here and there, then and now. 
The work is to celebrate life, romance, and wonder, to build relationships between time, people and material, and to make dusk jealous.
