"My work is a record of observations of natural and emotional landscapes and explores the subtlety and inexplicable aspects of feeling and color. Records of sensation, carved in stone. It’s palpable— something pure and undisturbed. A subtle awareness, the feeling of air. Documenting sensation is like following ghosts or chasing shadows. Capturing color that is hovering between one moment and the next. Tracing the silhouettes, trying to define their form. The feeling of a cool rock in my hand. The light you see when you close your eyes."
