I’ve been
Water
Washing away some sin
Molasses
Sticking to the jags
Glue Losing its tack
Hair Clogging a drain
Understudy
Hoping for a sprained ankle
Repentance
Tucked away in prayer
But God wanted me to forgive myself

Memory is comprised of the known and unknown, the tactile and hidden, the truth and the reality.
I am fascinated with how we remember, what we forget, and what we repress, and the triggers that bring it to the surface. I create work from memory, which pans across the emotional paradigm, involving such sentiments as loneliness, isolation, anger, betrayal, loss, elation, confusion and anxiety.
We all suffer from distortions of this experience, but these moments – however fleeting or miniscule at the exact moment of experience -- are relevant to our lives.
