Artist Statement

Light and unity of light is the subject of my work. Light enables seeing, seeing organizes light. Light reveals the surfaces of things and emanates from within them. Ubiquitous light: light of the sun, light electric, light reflected, light unseen, light remembered, light of the spirit, light of the world. I seek to dissolve what I see back into light.
