About The Artwork

Archival Pigment Print, Signed and Numbered. The “1995” photography series is a poetic reflection on writing, memory, and loss. While exploring a junk yard in Scotland, I discovered a discarded hand-written diary of one woman’s life, written in 1995. The artworks are inspired by research I was doing at the time at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh and their extensive botanic archives where specimens are preserved in liquid. Inverting the process, each diary page was placed in a separate vessel filled with water, not to preserve the writing and paper, but to preserve the ephemeral quality of journaling. The water hastened the break-down of the text ("1995 Stage One"), and as each page broke down, it became a catalyst for the growth of self-contained botanic ecosystems. A new organic order replaced the codified order of human language ("1995 Stage Two"). I never read the diary.

My artworks critically and playfully challenge our relationship to the tug that exists between measurement and lived experience, the rational and the sensuous. Drawing from my current research in philosophy and aesthetics and nearly twenty years of professional experience in the fields of architecture and graphic design, I create artworks in multiple mediums from drawing, printmaking, photography, sculpture, and installation to public art commissions, interactive events, curating, and writing. Born in Buffalo, aged in Philadelphia, and seasoned in Australia, Scotland, and New York City, a curiosity and love of place has been a constant inspiration since childhood. What began as an artistic inquiry into the "tug" of place has grown into a broader examination of this tug in language, the feminine, time, and notions of truth. The artworks are often laced with a subtle humor and draw attention to the sense of wonderment in everyday life.
