Presently my work continues to unfold, in layers. It is comprised of layers of meaning, layers of materials. This current body of paper & encaustic sculptural works, came from solitary time, and forced isolation. Managing the chaos of the external by carefully dissecting time into small manageable moments. Perfect little pieces fluttering, layering then fused together yet still weightless and ethereal. In the end allowing the process to guide me as it neatly comes together, order and conformity restored.
