ARTIST STATEMENT
Using water media and mono print processes, I build layers of color which suggest a space. Each layer captures traces left by the water moving across the surface. Even though a gesture may be repeated, it will not appear the same way twice. This quality of transformative repetition recalls how we frame our memory of place. The layered sequences form pathways and clearings within an image. Like the experience of recalling a place, the images generate a type of map, recording the channels upon which the image is based.
