Marginalized materials found or discarded, whether beads, confetti, wrapping paper, ribbons, tinsel or puzzles, are combined together in layers, to create a visual stimuli. Made from thousands of puzzle pieces swirled and massed into forms, the works are more sculptural than paintings. Breaking out of the two-dimensional surface, they appear to be alive, like topographic models of mountains being formed and reformed or as eternally restless bodies of water. These relief-like sculptural pieces are on a level, a metaphor for the experience of overturning marginalization. Using puzzle pieces, which are usually made to fit in a confined order, I flip the concept of the jigsaw puzzle from an association with logic and order to express intuitive, chaotic energy and exuberant freedom. I want to present in the moment of creation. My process is the act of acceptance.
