Conversations and visions come to me. Fabrication and reality are key players. I use colors as if they were fluorescent markers. A researcher from age 7. Numerous trips to the library, maxing out my check-out limit. Still to this day. My research equates to artwork. Obsessively detailed and bare boned. Collaborations with makers of the past, my dreams, and patterns. Experiences that go into my memory banks, which at this point (due to space) expand and float outside of my head. I join forces with the artist who is ever present within me.
