Artist Statement:

“My present work stems from a need to use repetition of line in a minimalist fashion to bind myself to the creative process. The shapes I use were salvaged from my late husbands metal working studio and since recovering them I consider my work to be eulogistic in nature. The desire to form an identity, so to speak - of a fingerprint of a shape - making the identity of a shape - which holds deep meaning - each line revealing it's own shape path, connotes a life force isolated in it's own being, yet connected by it's simplicity of creation - that being line - my choice of experimentation.”
