I am inspired by the notion of Tikum olum. How we can make the world a better place. This is a process :
veiled knowledge. layered, disguised, transformed, partially hidden, completely hidden, suggestive, blurred, flicker of existence, untethered , secreted, calling out, thrusting out, emerging with force, amorphous, ignamatic, shocking, surprising.

In this series of works titled "Confidential", I am preoccupied with an expression of things that are intangible but very real. I do a lot of just thinking. Thinking about the nature of existence and purpose. The creative process for me is fluid; I may begin with an idea or an image, but I let that start to develop a life force of its own. I don’t fight my canvas but rather open myself to where the image evolves.

This work was inspired by the ocean, rocks, and sand where the rough and powerful forces of nature prevail.

This work was inspired in a period of forced isolation, but even in the loneliest of times there was an insurgent spirit that met what needed to be met at the time. personal and confidential.

The notion of “tikun olam” – that we can unify our thoughts and actions toward a positive universal force thereby repairing the world - informs much of my work.
