My imagery usually starts with an observation of a material reality–objects of nature in space, such as plants, trees or landscape elements. These elements have a presence and create relationships. We embody the place or object and simultaneously perceive other possibilities of being and other time frames. There may be events of the past or events imagined. The created spaces may be inhabited. There is movement and change.  These are events perceived simultaneously with the current reality. My imagery always has to do with events in a place.

In the city, where encounter with nature is limited, I have often created interior landscapes with tabletop objects. These stationary, inert objects are combined with plants, flowers or vegetable materials, bringing in what changes and has a life span.
