I am interested in light – in a naïve way, I have spent nights trying to catch it. This inclination to collect with glass hands leads to an interest in things I can’t see. And the closest relating fragment I can find in forms that bear kinship to these feelings of transience are matched in the flight of swarms or the duplicity of reflections. I like to dissolve anchors by obscuring the same form – when possible I work with this tied to unraveling a sense of location. I work with images as a medium to understand reflections and indentations of traces which can be revealed… which are already present. The manner in which I work is embedded quite strongly in the way I view printmaking as a process similar to recording and revealing a trace.
