The process of layering paper, paint, drawings, words and found objects has been my favorite mode of expression for many years. Not only does it give me an excuse to collect more stuff, it has moved me into developing a way to incorporate objects that I wouldn’t have used previously. Using resin that encapsulates 3 dimensional objects was a way for my more delicate articles (insects, butterfly wings, feathers etc.) to live above the 2 dimensional collages, floating in their own space. My work is most often inspired by nature. I try to take a closer look at the world beneath our feet, the trees and bushes or just past our human perception to create a new relationship with the environment that surrounds us. |
