I choose materials that evoke a visceral response, suggesting seduction, repulsion, fragility or protection. I thrive on the alchemy of chance, unpredictable occurrences in materials that allow the environment of a work to emerge. In my studio practice, my work has developed progressively through the investigation and negotiation of the tensions between art and science, chaos and order, the unknown and the factual.

Working with magnets led me to investigate the magnetic properties of my own blood. I have always been fascinated by blood and regard it metaphorically as the physical manifestation of the soul. It is a potent substance that resonates something more than pigment outside of the context of the body. In my work, both blood and magnets are literal and symbolic representations of connection, universal community, sacrifice, fear and desire.
