This exhibition incorporates selected work from diverse series over the past decade including The Braille, Geometry, and Book Pages Series, The Petalum Collages, and Wire Constructions. Questioning how an individual communicates and receives information has been an important catalyst in my recent work. The complexities of sensory experience, in particular the visual, tactile and auditory, are all significant sources informing this work. The use of repetition is directly inspired by meditative rhythms both spoken and sung.
