My work centers around the notion of receptivity and embodied immersion in experience. I am interested in alternative ways of knowing. This stems from research about the mind-body connection and how at times we have to move action from the brain to the body. The research grew as an antidote for living in a highly codified world. Working intuitively requires a level of acceptance and even love of the unknown that contradicts the brain’s tendency to want to control and have answers. I am inspired by improvisational techniques, poetry and musical traditions. I often listen to music as I work, in an attempt to reach an intuitive state of flow. This is a place of heightened awareness where I work with embodied knowledge as opposed to the rational mind.  I build three-dimensional forms in an intuitive process.
