My art career spans five decades, and builds on my lifelong interest in meditation, philosophy, and feminism as conduits of freedom and peace. This book provides a survey of my artwork from 2020 - 2023. It is the sixth of a series of books that documents the progression of my art practice.
These images include paintings, light installations, sculptures, photography, and videos. The common threads of my interests in my art practice are: minimalist expression, textural colour fields, installations as well as objects, and space, both inside and outside of the work. Space is never empty, both in the art work and its surrounding environment. I aim to manifest works that are supportive of nuance and mindful attentiveness, and that create a moment of counterpoint to the ubiquitous, anxious, complexity of information overload.
