My art practice is content driven, by this I mean that there are particular areas such as social histories, the Holocaust, issues of identity, immigration, income inequality, racial disparities, etc, that I explore through making art. My process begins with a subject. The forms of my work can vary, but is usually work on paper, often based in photography. I use my own photos to make transfer prints, inkjet prints, lithographs, etchings and artists books that combine one or more print techniques. The images are often rather ordinary, but the organization, the combination of images, inclusion of text or additional art media shapes the interpretation. Language has evolved into a more intrinsic part of my work. Over the past few years, I've been studying the craft of poetry through workshops, writing conferences and residencies. Poetics inform the language I incorporate into my artwork. I’m interested in providing the viewer with the opportunity to reflect, review and re-examine the world around us.
