GENESIS combines my resonance with sacred geometry found in both the natural and constructed world, with symbols of my familiar roots represented by heirloom doilies made by my mother. The golden spiral  is a geometric way to represent the Fibonacci series, often associated with balance and harmony. These geometric patterns are believed to be the building blocks of the Universe. This body of work weaves all the above mentioned into a cohesive whole with one of my believes ’as above so below’, the idea that what we are on the inside will be created in the word around us.

When creating pieces that are aesthetically self-sufficient and true to my visual language, my hope is to also challenge viewers to think beyond what is immediately perceptible. Each of my works tell a story as I approach my craft with a life-long learning lens. While making cyanotypes, silver gelatin and platinum palladium prints, oil paintings and collages, I use different mediums, from vintage film cameras to digital cameras, handmade papers, canvases, wood, memorabilia, oils, charcoal and ink. The media and techniques often change based on my project, but my curiosity and passion to create remain the same. I welcome experimentation, especially in alternative photographic processes, since imperfection plays an integral part in my work. My latest work embodies kintsugi, the Japanese art of putting pieces together using gold emphasizing the beauty of imperfection.
