Artist Statement
As an artist, I am a myth maker, and the investigation of past myths and primitive art enable me to create pieces that have roots in the past yet can create insight into our present. With a foundation in traditional basketry, I have continuously been interested in vessels, container shapes and nests. These pieces have reference to container shapes with ritualistic overtones. Using the a basket form is a way to present my thoughts and grasp that primordial thread that weaves us together as humans.
