ARTISTS STATEMENT
..through an organic process I seek to suspend the viewer.....
...to provide glimpses, snapshots, sometimes like film cells, layers, sedimentary stuff....
....through the grid order over chaos and chaos over order....
.....to make some sense of what I see and to provide a kind of balance without falling over.
