I start out working with familiar landscape images, in this case, of trees, underbrush and vegetation from around where I live. I extricate from these images the formal qualities I need for my composition — crooked branch becomes a drawn line, a patch of sky a colour field. Out of the layering of branches, root tangles, boulders and scribbles begin to emerge figurative markings with emotive associations. Twigs scrape out an undeciphered babble; bulbous and knotted shapes become the embodiment of feeling. Amorphous forms hover in a luminous, fragile space; others lay down a psychological tattoo.
