Artist Statement

I fold large scale paintings into book forms. Folding generates unexpected breaks and reveals new forms in the paintings. This piece stems from dreams and becoming aware of when I have strayed. The book unfolds and folds in the direction that the viewer chooses, the dream-telling is nonlinear. I make books to explore what is felt and what isn’t felt, what is truth and what is imagined, when to rise and when to dream.
