"I derive my imagery from fragments of human figures. The fragments carry my ideas about changes and evolution common to all individuals. These fragments express psychological states such as anxiety and tension. They also express my personal responses to themes concerning life cycles such as birth, sexuality, and death. These themes are reflected within the images and the format of the work. The pieces are arranged as single pieces or within a group to suggest relationships and change. Repetitions of format, images, and markings reinforce psychological states. Each format allows the work, as a visual whole, to transcend the basic fragmentation of the human body and encourages the viewer to relate to larger issues such as privacy versus public display, personal relationships, and the anxiety that can accompany growth and change. For example, the single format permits emphasis on a specific thought or idea while multiple formats narrate an idea in several states or times. The role and importance of media, and the physical and visual structure--shape, mass, color, size and mark-making--all point to the significance of the thematic relations of the work."
