My newest work is a collection of artifacts. There is a code that will never be uttered, totemic reliquaries with no ceremonial function, and maps of a psychic terrain. 

The objects emerge from grappling with concepts of religion and mysticism. I am motivated by matters of the spirit, but chose not to subscribe to a predetermined imagery. Rather than appropriating the visual language of existing cultural traditions, this work relies on an improvised iconography and the poetics of the handmade. My process is intimate and meticulous. The ritual is in the making.
