It’s intriguing to witness as paintings and sculptures come into being. I enjoy working with my hands; as the process unfolds, time becomes far less relevant, which is an inviting place to go to. I also appreciate taking in physical culture and how it is preserved. Art-making through the ages, which is so accessible to us at settings around the world, be it indoors or out, has been a large part of my life and it’s nice to be making work that is part of this continuum.
