From a journal excerpt she describes the importance of time- “the time it takes to look closely, to look beyond the surface. I remember as a child laying on the grass and honing in on one leaf blade. I wanted to see it the way an insect climbing its way through the surface might..or the, texture, color and patterns of a tree and its skin. The qualities and function of all the parts that make a whole. It is in this space where I explore my sensibilities with old and new, natural and man made materials...the textures, color and weight of each and how they relate to me and one another.
