My Artworks Exist as Concurrently Ongoing series

I am often asked which series I am currently working on. And the answer is usually: several.

Rather than completing one body of work before beginning another, I develop multiple series at the same time. For me, this way works better. Different ideas arrive with different rhythms, and not all of them ask to be explored in the same way.

Some ideas emerge from a memory. Others begin with an object, a phrase, a feeling, or a question that refuses to leave. While one series may be resting quietly in the background, another may suddenly demand attention. By allowing several series to coexist, I can follow each idea where it naturally wants to go instead of forcing it into a linear timeline.

Although the series may look different from one another, they are connected beneath the surface. They often circle around recurring themes that continue to fascinate me: wonder, beauty, perception, possibility, memory, and the way meaning can be found in ordinary things.

I think of my practice as tending a garden. A garden allows many flora to grow simultaneously. Some flowers bloom quickly. Others take years before revealing themselves. Each season brings attention to different parts of the landscape, yet they all belong to the same place.

Working this way also gives me room to revisit ideas over time. I believe as I change over the years, the work changes with me. A series that began years ago may return with new questions, new materials, or a deeper understanding. What once seemed complete may reveal something different waiting to be explored.

This “garden" carries my ongoing conversations with art and the world. If I could draw a larger picture of my artistic journey, it would be a collection of thoughts, observations, and moments of wonder.
