Artist’s statement
Through symbols and textures that echo Indigenous art and the memory of childhood I explore various themes that deal with our primordial connection to the natural world. Collagraph printing is my medium of choice. The flexible and direct nature of the collagraph technique allows me to tap into an intuitive creative energy. Working on the cardboard plate that will be inked and printed onto paper becomes an act of play. Images and episodes of an unconscious narrative are revealed to me as I work.
