As an artist I have found that process is a fundamental part of my work. In practice this means that my ideas develop from bits and pieces of mass-mediated images of personal tragedy, celebration, ritual, etc. that have been turned into public spectacle. One painting began after viewing images of civilian casualties of war, wrapped in blankets, lying beside each other in rows on the ground. I created an image of figures covered by a blanket lying on a topographical map or landscape. The blanket is a personal domestic object of comfort that becomes another part of the larger topographical landscape. I created a set to work from using people that I know as models. Working from a personal restructuring of the narrative I try to develop a fluid synthesis from the images, events and information I have encountered.
