The art is inspired by the compass and capacity of origin, obligation, and shared experience.

The effort in patterning centers in and between what is already accomplished, and what might yet be created.

PICTORIALS & GLYPHS

These ancient art forms have been uncovered on both hard and mud-caked cave walls, in towering desert canyons, and on seemingly innocuous stones in the middle of fields, for at least 200 millennia. All across the world, these signs feature candid primary shapes, and stark linear and circular markings. And often, figures, humans, and animals who seem to stand apart in austerity, or otherwise engage in a contest, or display some potent power...

HANGING SCULPTURE

Hanging Sculpture describes the inspiration behind the series. This project aims to celebrate the role of "potentiality" in our lives.

When I design my art and patterns, I often return to this wealth of diverse knowledge to consider multiple perspectives, styles, and even meanings that my art might convey...

A NON-VERBAL DISCOURSE WITH VISUAL ART

We each express this creative exigent power to communicate, whether in an effort between individuals, groups, or within ourselves. To do this we often rely on language in the form of phonetics and linguistics, as in distinct sounds and grammars.

But there are other times when we get down deep into communication, and instead we rely on a unique symbolic framework of the senses. In addition to the concept of "body-language", this symbolic framework might be described as “a felt sense”...
