When I watch someone moving I see a constant play of ever changing patterns. It doesn’t matter if that person is a classically trained ballerina or just a regular person shopping for groceries. Each body part moves in relationship to all of the others. Each gesture relates to the whole being of that person. It is all beautiful and mysterious to me. In my art I illuminate the unseen harmonies within movement. I use light and long exposure photography to capture those relationships. I use lithography to play with the patterns and geometry that are naturally created by the ratios of our bodies. The moving human body has its own complex and nuanced language, and I find it endlessly fascinating.
