I am interested in the mysterious nature of what endures, both within an internal landscape and in the natural world. Continually there are shifts, transformations, and subsequent restructurings taking place; some are obvious while others are subtle, even to the point of being barely visible.

In the newest work I once again am not interested in making sure everything throughout a drawing or painting follows a certain line of logic or set of rules. During the past several years I've become increasingly fascinated by various shapes that can be considered vessels of one kind or another. The many ways it is possible to contain, hold, transport something of meaning or value comes up for me. The vessel as metaphor also connotes how vast, rich, and deep our interior lives are.

The earlier hybridity of picture making still appears in the work. Overall, abstraction continues to be my way into a visual vocabulary that has no need to define and pin down what remains mysterious.
