Mindscapes 

I am attracted to detail, to the insides.  My quest for the infinitely small leads me to the microscopic world of cellular biology; a world that the naked eye cannot see but accepts as reality.  I posit the cell as a microscopic pod, an organic vessel holding, storing, and possessing something that cannot be seen but is accepted as reality. Nowhere is this metaphor of the cell as a vessel more poignant than in the cells of the brain.  

The idea of a memory dwelling within a cell, being held, contained, raises questions of value, perspective and truth.  I search for a balance between control and instinct.  Working repetitively and intuitively, using neurobiological imagery as inspiration, I create an indistinct space, an inner landscape existing within the cell, both micro and macro, personal and universal.  I require the viewer to step closer, to uncover an implied narrative.
