My current artistic process involves the accessing of Individual Mythologies, referring to the term used by Harald Szeemann. Evoked by materials and places, stories of simple women, working, serving over many centuries of time enter my consciousness. The effects of need and desire on the human psyche within oppressive power structures throughout western history are the common thread. I sew costumes, embroider, weave lines of graphite on paper, on walls. I capture photographs on analogue film. I write short fiction and poetry. I perform and read for video and live audiences. I attune my body, mind, needle, thread, camera, tripod and typewriter. Over time, the results accumulate to form multimedia and transmedial story-telling projects.
