Artist's Statement
We’re all the same, except that we’re not. We’re all connected and yet we’re separate. I’m interested in our commonalities and differences, the ways we connect with and disconnect from one another and the world around us.
I’m drawn, too, to solitude--what one existentialist refers to as “the glory of being alone.” Some people might confuse solitude for loneliness. Loneliness, I think, is an altogether different beast: heavy with longing, looking through glass at the crowd. Solitude is content to sit alone on either side of the window.
