Intermediaries - Roots Painting

I am a bricoleuse – piecing together fragments, keen on the tension of juxtaposition. For me, painting is an act of traversing the gap between thought and matter, building bridges. I seek rhythm in texture, (this feels like intuition) and the articulated edge that becomes letter and language (this is line).    My recent work in mixed media and oils explore abstractions of landscape/bodyscape and human/beast corroborations that are metaphor for the merging of thought and instinct. I find inspiration in poetry, early music and symbolic language systems.
