The physical and psychological interconnections of systems, histories, pathways and modalities both visible and invisible are the subject of much of my work.  By examining microscopic cellular constructions, I have noticed similarities between these minute systems of communication, transport, division and the organizational systems of many physical and sociological systems in modern urban environments. I am intrigued by the organic process of urban growth, decay and regeneration.  I am likewise intrigued by the modalities in which we communicate, transport, exchange, divide, coalesce, and interact.  Using processes including crochet, weaving, and embellishment along with sculptural techniques such as assemblage and casting allow the mass production of nearly identical multiple forms or patterns. Often, these multiple objects are presented together creating larger units in which the viewer is bombarded with information, non-reoccurring patterns, or environments.  It is within this process that the element of chance occurs whereby the identical forms mutate and alter allowing the viewer to engage with the organic process of replication, growth, mutation or evolution.  Larger site-specific mobile installations such as Peripheries documents the evolution of urban industrial sites of the mid-west rust belt as specific localities representing the intersection of commerce, transportation, production and activity into decaying, decrepit, deteriorating vacant landscapes slowly being reclaimed by natural growth.
