Artist's statement:

I have been producing art since the early 80's. Works in primarily textile-based art forms gave way to assemblage work by the mid-90's, and textiles now represent an essential vocabulary that interacts with new and found elements introduced into the composition.

Each piece is an "engine" (in the Buddhist sense) or nexus for a situation or concept I am grappling with. That it comes out with image or sculptural space doesn't essentially matter, then matters very much.

Most work develops in series, as I move through conceptual, philosophical and emotional aspects of a unifying theme. Thus, the Heraldry series features small works relating to a renaissance bodice design, and a large work stemming from a work of poetry I read that spurred the series.

Most of my time is spent as an art professional in textile conservation and Collections management. This more custodial role informs my perspective in art making. I maintain my art as a most vital essential dialog with the world, and I truly enjoy sharing it with you, my community. Thank Bucci for offering me this opportunity, and please be in touch if you find the work interesting and if you wish to purchase a piece.
