So often now, we are disconnected from the body that houses us. In my art practice, I connect with physical experiences through their abstract representation in 3D form and through print-making processes.  I portray moments, sensations, states of being in the body. I use elements as a code of glyphs: to communicate something that can't be expressed through words.  I aim to capture moments of human physicality, whether through referencing cellular units and organic patterning, or through sensory impressions of biological experiences such as sleep or deterioration. I find meaning and a timeless, universal quality in patterns (found under the sea or in folkloric art) and rhythms (of the moving body in dance and yoga). Surface, texture, materiality and process direct my work, as does the physical labor I perform in creating these pieces.  Like hieroglyphics or rune stones, my body of work is an ordered system that is somewhat science-based, but it also has a relationship to the spirit and unconscious worlds. My work is aligned with principles of Biomorphism: inspired by the principles of biological systems. I create metaphors for our physical and emotional experiences.  I do this because plants, coral bodies, ice formations are perfectly embodied.  In these structures, there is no separation of mind and body, form and function are united.
