ARTIST STATEMENT
”Re-membering”
History, memory, dreams, imagination and the reflexive pursuit of knowledge are essential to my creative process. Old books, maps and papers fascinate me in the way that old people do. They become richer and more fully realized with the passage of time, bearing visible traces of their pasts and possessing secrets, mysteries and stories that are more vital than those imprinted upon them when they were new. Collecting venerable discards and incorporating them with my drawings, calligraphy and prints in order to endow them with new life and meaning based upon my own experience and understanding is what refer to as ”re-membering”.
