mind the gap:Artist Statement

Mind the Gap is a mapping of my emotional response to a dificult transition period.

These alumni graphs use several plates made from less toxic and innovative materials which I allow to change over time.

As a parent I have a front row seat in my daughter's tempestuous journey through adolescence. A journey, which at times risks her life. Watching, I experience an intense range of strong emotional responses. This emotional roller coaster ride has compelled me to create this work. Beyond knowing that time will pass, there are no absolutes in this real life drama, no secure knowledge that everything will turn out ok.
