Time ... is the concept explored in my work; how it is perceived and interpreted, multilayerd and collected. Multiple time frames seem to function simultaneously. In a moment, ideas of the past can affect the present while the future is built on a collection of moments. Conversely, future dreams may cause a re-examination of the past resulting in reinterpretation of what has been. Present politic may demand a reinterpretation of the past to institute greater equity; it may also seek a visionary image of the future to act as a catalyst for change, the movement of one time frame acting upon another seems to be in play in the process of an evolving system. The restructuring of histories, both personal and cultural, brings flexibility of what is thought to be real making what is known, a construct of it's context in time.

The motivation at the core of my work has always been to utilize the creative process as a process for living and transforming daily existense, to develop a conscious voice.
