MEDIA:		  
Much of my work involves a synthesis of different techniques and materials. I work in such areas as printmaking (etching and wood block), limited edition art books, pottery, sculpture (bronze, clay, mixed media), photography, drawing (ink, charcoal, pastel), textile, costume design, and public art (performance, dance, language, environment).
Some individual pieces incorporate more than one media, while others make reference to similar themes or visual elements.
