‹‹‹ Statement ›››
I live and work in rural La Cienguilla, 'the little marsh', southwest of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Predictable, slow-moving seasonal cycles, overseen by petroglyphs carved into volcanic rocks that are over a million years old, counter-balance the high frequency of digital communication that is as prevalent in my life as the blue sky. For grounding I look to the earth- the animated landscape has its own story and keeps informing my work. Making things is the way I listen and behold the paradox.
Images bubble-up from my unconscious marsh, offering up clues as to the next move. I'm using more digital media in my work, along with traditional printmaking processes and making 3D objects. The media tool-chest is expanding as I investigate this new environment, straddling instant messaging with agricultural time, the back lit monitor with the night sky. It's an evolving story, now showing up in projects I'm calling 'exhifictions'. Fact, fiction, history and future comingle, born of my chronic curiosity about the world and compulsion to make things as a way of pursuing the questions. It is a multi-media process that inevitably leads to back to the mystery- the unknowing. I don't know if I'm making it up or it's making me up but I like the story.
