Over Time

Over time is a personal response to my current life with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Daily I am reminded that even though I am 1 year and 4 months in remission I still have 3 years and 6 months to go before I cans say that I do not have this disease. Every day I get closer and every day I stop and reflect on the quality of my time. Over Time is an observation of what has happen and what is yet to come.

This series of works explores the layers one begins to develop on a daily, weekly, monthly, and annual basis. Each panel created focuses on one specific material i.e. pattern paper, magazine paper, fiber or hair and begins to develop an abundance of texture as it is manipulated either by tearing, folding or by its placement. My rituals of creating these textures are a metaphor of my daily routine. The texture for the viewer is simple, earthy and yet overwhelming at the same time. These works are a visual diary of my life.
