Image Statement: Reflecting upon various times in my life, I revisit old sketchbooks and writings. Cutting strips from cast off paintings, I rewrite my readings there, weaving them into a container-like form or flat object to bend or shape. This is a contemplative act of remembering, honoring, and preserving, as well as processing uncertainty, change, and ruminations: so much to do, so much to think about and wrap my head around. How to move forward? It’s a stream in our heads that can make it hard to get out of the loop and to act, to make progress.
