My works on paper are made using the typewriter (sometimes accompanied by the sewing machine), and I have
found the obsessive quality of the process to be meditative in its rudimentary repetition. Due to the age of the typewriters, splotches fade in and out of the paper, sometimes strong and at times so faded as to be indiscernible.These variables contribute to results that are surprising and unexpected. I am fascinated by the uncertainty of chance, the idea of transformation, and what it means to “see.” When you look at these pieces, you may see a landscape or shapes, but up close you discover that the forms are actually made from small, very familiar individual marks. It is in this “unknowing” that is of interest to me and what I hope to express in my work. There is more to say, but I've said enough.
