I begin all my work intuitively, beginning with just a thought of a color or form. At the end I use the iChing to help me decipher the meaning. Unlike much of my work this image seems to reflect more of a feeling restriction or isolation and yet encourages perseverance and eventual release. The confined spaces and isolated chairs align with themes of constraint and the need for inner strength to endure.

Bio
The world is seen in layers, stacking colors and ideas, shapes and patterns onto each other as if one were walking through their day with blurred vision, not taking in specifics but piecing together various parts and overlapping them, sensing what’s all around us that we often miss when caught in our thoughts. What develops is another realm of existence expressed through tonality, textures and sounds. My composite images attempt to unveil the interaction I experience with all things. It’s photography that evolves organically and intuitively. It's healing through creativity.
