This work is symbolic of exploding energy, but soft, calm and contained. Maybe like on a molecular level what happens when we orgasm? The small bang, the private origin story. The small pellets used in this dimensional collage are "nurdles" - virgin plastic material used to make a variety of plastic items. Nurdles are shipped around the world and lost at sea and in waterways, washing up on beaches and choking wildlife. I collected these nurdles from the beach where I live in Baleal, Portugal. Collecting, cleaning, and sorting by shape and color are all part of the highly meditative process of creating the artwork.

Portugal
Inspired on the beaches of Portugal to use trash as a collage material, I am exploring the material properties and meaning of plastic waste. My interest lies in building layered surfaces activated with transparency, reflectivity, and fragmentation. My methods are drawn from my background in textiles, my love/hate relationship with painting, and my natural proclivity for collage. Using symbolism, decoration and light, I mine the historic use of these visual languages in religion and spirituality. I am seeking a transformation and elevation of material to question notions of value in our consumerist culture.
