The elements line and script that I explore in TransMigration and Transcription interact and coexist in TransPlace - line as time-travel and script as stairways. Like a shaman, I paint within, around and through these painted spaces tying the stories of my forbearers to rituals and memories. I connect fluid spaces to undiscovered places within to make meaning of the world without. Painting in silence with no preconceptions, drawings or ideas, I rely on what I know and feel about the natural worlds, and my place in it through the process of call and response. It is a rhythmic dance on the canvas that opens up various forms of consciousness by making visible the invisible, by finding harmony through struggle, and coming to terms with both rest and unrest.

TransPlace
Like a shaman, I dance on surfaces to open passages into the undiscovered world within, and to make meaning of the world without. My paintings are neither visions nor memories. I paint in silence with no preconceptions, drawings or ideas, relying on what I know and feel about the natural worlds, and my place in it. I move the paint, through unspoken words as tones, lines and hues, connecting images that arise through a sense of unison within patterns and structures that evolve and emerge through the process of call and response. It is a rhythmic dance on the canvas that opens up various forms of consciousness making visible the invisible, finding harmony through a passage of consciousness. Harmony is the outcome of struggle. There is beauty in struggle. My work reflects the beauty of struggle and the moments of rest and solace.
