My artistic practice is contemplative, exploratory and improvisational in nature. In my work, I explore the language possibilities of materials and photography as I build mixed media collage works that point towards alternative ways for viewing and knowing human experiencing. I sit with questions and draw upon memory, poetry/literature, sociopolitical realities, theology and history to create art composed of mostly-found or discarded materials that reflect the textured ideas, complex realities, emotions, dreams, longings, questions, possibilities and beauty that make up the storied layers of the human experience.
