machine-printed and hand-painted textile wall hangings
handmade paper stars/flowers/geometric shapes
umbrellas
NIGHT GARDEN Artist Statement
Organic shapes + geometric devices + mirrors & blur are the stuff of my dreams. They appear over and over in my NIGHT GARDEN videos.
The mirrors / symmetry / reflections divide & unite the elements. They grow apart & back together again. Fast & slow. Pattern & chaos. How do the pieces build into a whole? Which pieces carry the most? How do the in-between moments glue the work? How does my mind make sense of the day?
I use blur and out of focus elements to introduce ambiguity. Blurry images might be a half seen dream, or a view through a rainy window, or a tiny tickle of a memory from the corner of your thoughts.
