Fascinated with movement, kinesthetics and the basic laws of motion I work from the premise that the understanding of movement can be revealed through repetition. Beginning with the body, combining materials with movement, my work synthesizes a personal history and deep connection to body movement. My recent Spirendulum Series involves 2-D encaustic panels positioned on the studio floor to receive marks made with a wax drizzling pendulum that I swing, push and propel. Aware of the tension created between mechanical symmetry and organic flow, I play with relationship of control and lack thereof. The driving force of my work would be summarized by the equation, movement + materials = form.
