The different layers of form and texture in each piece are like the themes in a symphony: waves of tension build up and then resolve in a peaceful balance.

Conflict is reflected in the combination of materials and processes I choose: pastels, charcoal, photography, ink, drawing, silkscreen, etching. External, foreign, and chance elements also make a purposeful contribution. I refuse to follow all of the steps of a process, provoking tension between medium and technique.

A firm creation results which projects harmony — a victory of soft subtlety over conflict.
