‘I thrive on the element of chance in the studio, trawling for marks and materials that present a visual aftermath of the hand. “Catch as Catch Can” consists of mixed media pieces and monotypes initially inspired by 19th century animal trap illustrations. These renderings began to emerge – both crude and labored – as age-old devices and practical means for catching prey. I view these mechanisms as a metaphor for the creative process, self-contradiction, the urban landscape, and the observations of contemporary human interaction. Through the application of marks, materials, color, and shape I respond to the emotional/psychological lures that exist throughout the everyday.’
