Most of my work explores the angles and structures of visible space and non-space. I deconstruct the physical, exterior world. I then reposition architecture, also repositioning organic and inorganic elements along the way. The result is a reconstructed landscape with freshly imagined shape, line, and color.
I see what nature and humans create as beautiful, geometric, measured, and powerful as well as sometimes tenuous or fragile. Organic and inorganic forms can sometimes appear to both absorb and compliment each other as well as compete for resources, space, and existence, sometimes right next to each other. Even in a crack in the sidewalk, greenery pushes through, courageously struggling for and conquering survival! In many ways these forms express the interdependent relationship of our land and built structures on this living, breathing earth.
Currently I am exploring the inner architecture of Vajrayana Buddhism through the ancient, intentional design of Buddhist Mandala. I am deconstructing imagined interiors, architectural spaces, and ancient spiritual experiences by reducing them to their purest elemental characteristics. I then reconstruct these into a mandala transformed. This is the first time I have explored elements of my faith in my art, as well as interior versus exterior landscape.
