Artist's Statement My work is an investigation of definitions, boundaries, selections and connections. It explores the liminal space between things which are considered established, and questions the relationships between them. Where are the lines between art and craft, male and female, painting and sculpture? How do we define ourselves? Are “black” and “white” actually colors of skin or cultural constructions, and if they are, then how do people decide where do you draw the line between them? This exploration of multiple perspectives and definitions is an entirely postmodernist approach. However rather than breaking things down entirely I prefer to explore the relationships. As has become true of many contemporary artists, I do not limit my materials, or even my style. Instead I focus on what best suits the concept, history and the sensory experience for the work. My work includes painting, sculpture, installation, performance, digital work, fiber, and combinations of all of the above and anything else that will suit the piece. |
