The Sweet Darkness #19 Painting

My purpose in art is not to produce a product but rather, to generate thinking and emotions through the process of resistance, introspection and contemplation. Batik is created with wax and interfering shapes that prevent dyes from penetrating the medium of choice. In photography, I am drawn to images which reflect lines, motion and light. Art is organic and dynamic – it is always shifting, active, incomplete and always becoming. It's like a band saw drawn by a bow in the wind. It continuously invites me out to a much larger home than I can imagine belonging to in the first place. It is this unexpected energy and promise of a new adventure, which propels me forward on a daily basis.
