I use the form or vessel as a three-dimensional canvas to express personal narratives. The paintings reflect my philosophy of being or my abstract notion of reality as imagery. The paintings are about the relationship between things, about social relations and how things touch and bump and move and go away again, and some never touch at all. The interaction of the shapes is based on the transitional nature of relationships, a metaphor for social interaction.
