My work, as I see it, is to cultivate the garden of creativity by being so wholly present that I am absent, disappearing entirely into the movement of making, and marvelling at what gets made. Later – often much later – meaning might arrive. Or not.

A mind that’s wondering and a heart full of wonder drive my creative life, ensuring I never get trapped in the clutches of any personal style or narrative. For me, the adventure of creativity – of making – overshadows the need to produce a certain kind of art product.

I don’t have things to say; I am simply and unapologetically “on the make.”
