Inquiries of an intangible nature regarding personal trauma, forgiveness and the soul are born through collecting, documentation and hand printed media. Visual subjects include: hair, human divers, childhood drawings and animals.

Suggestive of scientific processes, through the act of collecting I have harvested my own hair and consumer waste for evidence and images. The documentation that accompanies the act of collection serves as a personal and environmental taxonomy.

The use of the multiple, combined with the repetition inherent in handmade prints, suits my reoccurring questions and satiates my obsessive nature. Through the use of printmaking in traditional and innovative methods, my work yearns to excavate and reveal experiences, observations and memories both real and fictional.
