In other words:

I respond to, and draw in space in a subconscious process, of uncertain bricolages. It is a non linear accumulation, an organic cacophony that gradually builds recognition without knowing. This process withdraws meaning from materiality. My often ephemeral assemblages emanate femininity and invite the beholder into a realm of fantasy where creativity is beauty in poetic madness.
