About the Work
The artist’s work is informed by the nature of objects in a real and imagined space. She keeps a personal thesaurus of weight, skin, fragrance, textures, form and physics, gathered over years of looking at the urban landscape. In her work, here and there trade places and boundaries are firm but overlapping, a conversation in different languages. An inveterate traveler, the artist’s visual vocabulary is built upon journeys to places where material culture is expressed in vastly different ways. She has lived and worked in New York City since 1976 and in Brooklyn since 1983 and has maintained Brooklyn studios in Boerum Hill, Gowanus, and for the last 10 years in Greenpoint.
