My art is a continuing exploration of recursive patterns in nature contemplating human and geologic history. I find stories of change; layers of lines and shapes illustrate the narrative. The natural world is a crucible and mirror of our existence. It reflects, defines and is altered by our actions. What language is being built within these layers of growth, accretion and decay? The patterns speak of time and change.
