Statement
Hi! I am an artist originally from Chicago, who moved to Wales in 1989. I am a printmaker and sculptor, but I also like to make large installations and sound work. I like exploring what objects and images mean to people and turn them into something they might not expect. In my prints I look at the idea of the 'rural idyll' and subvert it with speech bubbles from comics. this creates unexpected narratives that let people create their own stories.
I have exhibited all over the UK and Europe and am most recently collaborating with other artists and musicians to make music using books as instruments. This is a fascinating way of looking at everyday objects in a new way. The tactile nature of the book creates a sensual response that far surpasses reactions to the digital equivalents. It is emotional and aesthetic. Triggering memory and emotion…
