My art is composed of layers. Organic and geometric shapes and images are created using tradi t ional Eastern and Western art pract ices. The bat iked images, words and symbols throughout are obscured, bleached and covered, leaving a singular image made from remnants. My art is an explorat ion of the tension, conf l ict and violence often present when contrast ing cul tures, rel igions and tradi t ions are asked to l ive together. Like the mythological river Lethe, my art engages di ffering cul tures, rel igions, and aesthet ics, tel ls stories, hides secrets, reveals and conceals, as i t invi tes one to step in.
