“I look back over my work of the last twenty years and wonder if an outside eye might view my collection of objects as the work of multiple artists rather than one… Yet, when I look, I see a very linear progression, an exploration of a limited number of themes or ideas, examining how we are viewed by others in contrast to how we view ourselves. As my personal experience of this has changed over the years, so have the visual manifestations… throughout, there are recurring images of flowers and vegetation as metaphors for sexuality; of classical and decorative objects serving as signifiers of beauty; of hands holding on to precious or fragile objects, holding on or moving through time.”
