STATEMENT OF ART:My work is rooted in the process. Soaking myself in the slowest time, broadest rhythm, at the moment, in every breath. Focus and patience have become practice and meditation. From the simplest observations in nature to the detailed measuring of intricate forms, I find geometry, patterns and form everywhere in the world around me. Together they built the natural beauty I have known since childhood. I am fascinated by contrast and unity, organization and repetition. Like myself, all start from a point of origin and ride with a circle overlapping another circle, paths cross, sometimes separate. I stretch, fold myself everywhere, never stopping. Through the endless process, it always starts from a circle and ends at another one. I consider these elements as real form, but also as different stages in life. From the daily practice, from zero to one. The accumulation and consumption of each day has turned into a new perspective, a new way of thinking.
