“I am interested in the energy that plant forms have on their own, without reference points or indication of scale. Often the scale is larger than life. The relationship of forms refers more to the changing perception one experiences while walking, or my desire to enlarge something that could be easily missed, than to the actual sizes of the plants.”
“The ideas of a journey, most often an actual walk or hike, is the genesis for much of my current work. On my walks, I observe, sketch, photograph and collect the organic forms that serve as a basis for these works. The act of walking becomes a part of my work, and the images become symbols for the journey. The walks may be close to my home – the Chihuahuan Desert – or through tropical rain forests or alpine meadows.”
