I am fascinated by the mercurial nature of individuality and personality, and chiefly, the experiences and influences that mold who we are. Puzzles, riddles, word games, quizzical looks, unexplained (and obvious) behaviors, all command my desire to uncover the cause and effect of occurrences. I find nothing more seductive than the process of searching for what underlies a look, a pose, a picture, a headline, or an accidental drop of paint. My first format for exploration was through a microscope as a microbiologist. Since completing my MFA in 2002, I’ve been drawn to multiple mediums, which simply reflects how I receive and assimilate input, and I find the third eye (camera lens) a very compelling observational tool.
