Her abstract environments, primarily on paper, depict the aura of place and history, an overlapping of tense invested in revelation, rather than realization. I am interested in the invisible and its deception. My abstract environments have an overlapping of tense which I perceive, a space to enter into, invested in revelation rather than realization. I believe chronology is a myth and that time is an illusion. Everything is happening at once.
