My artwork draws a lot from images and ideas I have about Nature. But sometimes a painting will make me think of something else, like the kind of day I was having when I was working on it, or something someone said when I showed it to them. The parts of my pieces that look like writing bring to mind various interpretations for me: background noise (either human made or nature made), communication in all its forms, culture (as in the culture/nature interface), or perhaps even some collectively unconscious voice that talks to all of us about our place in this world, and especially we artists who have the delightful burden of expressing it.
