The concept of time interests me. We see time through change. With change, we can tell a story. Time tells a story. With abstraction, when the viewer engages with the work, the story becomes theirs. I work with materials that are sensitive to light. Each artwork's appearance will shift slightly with the changing light in its environment. Light, shadow, and colors all adjust to the time and location.
