Navigating delves into the deep waters of the psyche. Layers and fluctuations of color map the flow of conscious and unconscious thought. I fantasize about bringing dry land to the disappearing ocean-front where I was raised, knowing that climate shifts may transform my current home in the desert to its ancient seabeds.

I deliberately select materials that resist control, challenge my preconceptions, and lead to discoveries in my art. Molten fluid wax can mimic nature’s chaos, and surprising forms, relationships, and patterns emerge in the work. These reveal to me the poetics within science and the place of spirit in the microcosm and macrocosm.
