“All of my work focuses on control. I have observed the stark contrast of my father’s awareness of his declining penmanship due to Parkinson’s Disease with my young daughter’s oblivion to her lack of control. I try to emulate the intentionality of his tiny marks with the freeness of her large chaotic scribbles into my abstract work. There is a beautiful and natural balance in the two forming a unique paper background, which I then cut and form into collages allowing me to apply a fresh form of control into each and every piece.”
