“My work is driven by empathy and the desire to understand nuanced points of view. By virtue of my critical care nursing training the essential practice of assessment guides the way in which I investigate narrative content or a material. Repetition, patterns and textures comprise the poetry that threads the language of my work throughout the various mediums. This language is informed by my experience with the application of medical diagnostics and its visual and sonic dialect.”
