Over the last fifteen years I have become progressively more committed to working with recycled medical imaging films as a raw material for art making. The material itself contains a range of subtle photographic information rendered in blues, grays and blacks. Intimate details of the interior of human bodies remain, recording their unique physicality. Once the cutting and organizing occurs, whispers are left of those individuals. Pale grey bones span dark backgrounds sliced and cut into quadrants of pattern; MRI images of the skull or hips leave white ovals tracing across a circle, faint reminders of the body.
With this material, I organize individual elements into architecturally scaled fabrications which reflect my perception and experience of non-human nature. Finding a dialog between excess and order; individuality and anonymity is my goal. Color, layering, transparency and visual complexity are my formal vocabulary. Obsession is my working method.
