Its human nature to sense our bodies in space and motion. As a dancer, my work is driven from movement - towards that place of being exposed.
I translate movements into abstract gestural figurative calligraphy using cloth, paper, dye, ink, stitch and other mixed media elements. Some of my work is two-sided, transparent and sculptural representing the face of what we present, versus that which we keep hidden. The dye process itself, furthers the relationship of my work to the body — dye unites with cloth on a cellular level.
Through visual movement dynamics, scratches and frayed edges - like wrinkles and silver strands of hair, my work celebrates and represents a story of the effects of time, aging and imperfection — a universality to the human condition.
