Automatic writing, sleep talking and walking, and Freudian slips
always have been events I unwillingly experienced during my life. My
artistic process pays close homage to the meaning behind the
subconscious slip, mark, and line. Recently, extending a small, rough
drawing using unconventional materials brings into focus the
relationship between the deliberate and coincidental. Approaching
the drawing as if it were a painting, the abstract marks extend until
they become an object, a space, or a shape. I am interested in the
moment when the repetitious erasing and layering creates an
environment that has a beginning and end. When a sense of place and
identity are achieved during the process of subconscious and conscious
mark-making, it reaffirms that the nonsensical world of feelings has
at times more meaning than the sensical.
