My work is about space and spaces, color and relationships. Needing space, wanting space, taking space, giving space, feeling space, and existing in space are fundamental experiences. Space is physical and mental, emotional, sometimes time bound. Space exists in all kinds of ways. I want to explore spaces that are particular and specific. Perhaps it will be nurturing, confusing, beautiful, playful or nonsensical.
