I am self-taught artist and my creative work entails drawing, painting,
fashion designing. I believe that perceptions in art are supported by a
cross punitive practice and I find that my work in one discipline will
impact my work in another. For example my context as a designer
influences the previous work done. I strike the drawings and explore how
force and fashion designing tools can be used to create work on paper.
Printmaking has a philosophical influence on my drawings. Indeed, many of my recent
works capture the use a graphite frottage method. This method allows pressure applied to transfer the
qualities of an object to the surface of the page. I shift the objects
beneath the page as I work.
My paintings and drawings are simultaneously figurative and abstract,
static and dynamic. The drawings communicate tactile qualities
entrenched in a flat surface. I think of my connexions as three
dimensional drawings. I often use linear materials such as ribbon,
rope to define space and form. In these works I use structural force,
tension in particular to pull a construction out of the realm of two
dimension and into the realm of three dimensions. I use tension and
gravity to both build and distort form. I started working with dancers
to construct the installations to express line in movement while
defining volume. My goal is to explore how force and rhythms are
communicated in the human body and in human built structures.
