I'm building enclosed forms from reclaimed wood, natural materials and an array of left overs -- beads, shells, insects and the leavings from my father's watch repair days. Finding repetition, I interlacing nature and geometric pattern placing it against an atmospheric world of textured painting.

Memory, connection, something beyond sheer recollection, a reclamation of the brokenness and fragility of finding meaning.
