My current body of work is inspired by nature. Through the process of building the pieces, multiple small elements are created to make a larger whole, as reflected in many forms in nature.  Clotted lines crisscross, cover, hide, and create unknown areas in my work.  The forms can seem like nets, capturing the viewer and blocking or hindering the passage of the gaze but allowing them to see through smaller areas, to what lies on the other side.  Just like each event in a person’s life changes them, each mark or shape changes and in doing so alters and forms the larger shape.
Nature has been connected with the feminine. Women have for generations been accountable for feeding, cleaning, mating and caring for the young and old.  Using nature-based forms my work is starting to investigate these roles of what is natural for women.   
Organic patterns in my work refer to those that can be found in flowers.  I use curving, soft and feminine lines to indicate these patterns that give birth to a multitude of sizes of overall forms, from the almost life-like size of the smaller forms to the large scale hanging pieces.  The patterns create new organic forms, referring to the image a person might want to show of him or herself.  It is only when one gets up close and takes the time to look that one can tell there is more going on in the work, more going on in most people’s lives than is revealed on the surface.
