ARTIST STATEMENT
Narratives of love, greed, hubris, and the fatally flawed cross both time and cultures. These stories inform the histories, mythologies, and folklore that inspire my work. By recognizing repetitive patterns from the past and juxtaposing them with current events, I aim to give a new voice to familiar tales.
I collage and refine these themes and images in Photoshop, then transfer my vision to woodcut and relief printing. Carving a block of wood may seem out of sync with the 21st century. To me, this slower process of chipping away a wood panel creates an expressive surface rich with accident, blemish, and imperfection. It immediately transcends my starting place, the perfect computer-created ideal, and tightens my relationship to the source imagery.

Analogue Narratives - Mount Analogue is a novel by René Daumal that remained unfinished at the time of the author's death in 1944. A spontaneous decision to continue Daumal's trek began in October of 2010 by a small group of artists who had been discussing the work on Facebook. The project began as an example of Exquisite Corpse writing on a Facebook thread. Soon this was curated as a stand-alone blogging project that showcased the work of the 12 collaborators. The commentary and narratives as well as the pictures, sounds, and links form a version of possible endings for Daumal's classic tale of searching for enlightenment.
