Labor of Love.
Working with my hands is my connection process. Discovering the nature of the material is indicative of creating authentically. I primarily start with working with found objects and materials collaging by hand and or by tactile collaging. Once I have found materials and a mood I would like to pursue, I research into trend and design to further solidify the process. Finally, I return to the immersive process of creating.
