Artist Statement: I work in the space between gesture and memory, where impressions—both literal and felt—take form under the press. My prints begin with something fleeting: a breath in solitude, a sweep of the hand, a glimmer of beauty glimpsed in the quiet folds of daily life. In ‘Alone in the Forest I Gilded My Ghost’, a golden, spectral figure pauses in a shadowed wood, hand pressed to the rough bark of a cedar. The work is a meditation on grounding oneself in the “forest” of everyday life—turning the adage “don’t lose the forest for the trees” on its head. Here, the focus is not on the grand view, but on the singular beauty of each tree, each moment, each breath taken before moving on.
For me, "Pressing Matters” speaks to both the physical force that bonds pigment to paper and the metaphorical weight of preserving what might otherwise dissolve. Each print becomes a record of contact, where fleeting sensations are made tangible and what is momentary is pressed into permanence.
