In my work I seek to bridge conscious and unconscious thought giving concrete form to personal reality in a process that attempts to reconcile the desire for order with the uncertainty of experience.  The raw materials of experience infuse the process and the outcome.  Place has a marked effect on my work.

Growing up in the Congo and Kenya, I was exposed to vibrant local arts and artisans although the political climate was often marred by uncertainty. Before moving to Winnipeg I spent two and a half years in Eritrea during politically volatile times and have had the opportunity in recent times to travel in art related capacities to Africa, China and Hong Kong.  I have lived in Africa,Philadelphia, Ottawa, and now call Winnipeg home.

Within my art practice, printmaking has been my discipline of choice. The transfer of image and texture from one surface to another as well as the repetition and layering of image attracts me to the medium. 

Although trained in traditional printmaking methods, I have progressively pushed the traditional boundaries exploring non-traditional materials and methods.   The process is as important to me as the outcome. 

Recently I have included video and performance in my work.  I was awarded a grant through Video Pool in Winnipeg to create a first video.  I find I am attracted to the layering capability of this medium.  Not only does it allow layering through the use of various levels of opacity in each frame but one can also layer progressively as the frames advance.
