Artist Statement:

This exhibit is about finding myself rooted in my community.  My previous solo exhibition delved into the feeling of being uprooted and feeling disconnected while exploring the questions of what is home, and who I am in relation to the past.  It was a life marked with feeling adrift, always moving, always anticipating somewhere else, always having to recreate myself.  Those experiences brought me to where I am but it is not who I have become.

During all that moving around and through my family of origin I developed my own personal strength, while recognizing the kin-work of reaching out to others.  I am not alone, nor am I adrift when I reach out and connect in ways that keep me anchored.  The knowledge that I am primarily relational, expressive, and intuitive drives me to create artwork that has the same qualities.  I revel in discovering connection among ideas, objects and material.

I use a variety of traditional and non-traditional material that contrast and blend with one another, engrossing myself in the qualities of each as I work.  As in communities, there are soft segments, hard edges, peaks and valleys, craggy parts, shiny and dull surfaces, things that stick out, things that are added, subtracted and broken apart.  There are deep wells to fall into and strings and wires in which to become tangled.  Out of manipulating these materials come new sculptural forms and new connections.
