I have a need to know my own identity. Art provides a way for me to know who I am: know my soul, know my thoughts, know my beliefs, know my feelings, know my experiences, know my pain, know my joy… know my identity. Art evokes the mysterious insights of my unconscious, making visible that which is invisible. By engaging in the process of creation, I explore the different characteristics of knowledge and gain a deeper understanding of who I am.

In particular, art making helps me understand my identity in relation to the physical aspects of my body. The internal body is a mystery. I create imagery that explores the invisible parts of the body to try and understand this mystery. I believe that our bodily organs and processes are an integral part of our identity as human beings and contribute to our understanding of who we are in the world.
