To me, being an artist means to look carefully at life, at the
joys and sorrows it contains, as well as the often almost unbearable
beauty of it. I am interested in abstract interpretations of revelations
of the subconscious, mute utterings which transport me somewhere,
but can't be articulated with words. I play with colors, patterns,
shapes, I rearrange materials until something speaks to me, I
know not what, but I sense a mysterious, ambiguous message.
A gifted dancer, when asked what her modern interpretive dance
meant, answered that if she could explain it, she wouldn't have
to dance it. I think the artist must be a channeler, a treasure
hunter, an assimilator who, like an alchemist, collects materials
and then forges something new and unique. Though it is a personal
mythology, if it is capable of touching others, it becomes universal.
