Artist's Statement

A simple line drawn across the page records many forces, known and unknown: the artist's conscious intentions, the tiny accidental movements caused by twitching muscles or a wandering mind, and the unconscious universal energies that lurk within us all. In my own mark-making experiments I borrow iconic and symbolic vocabularies from other fields of human inquiry — including science, mathematics, semiotics — to create new ones, in an effort to explore and express our complex relationship to symbol and language.
