The focus of "Firewoman" is fragments, sometimes illegible, of dreams important to me.// In attempting to break down barriers, my work links opposites, suggesting the interconnectedness of all things, the energy that transpires behind that which appears. I gather images from dreams, visions and ideals, each providing a plank for the bridge between: male/female; East/West; known/unknown; visible/invisible; light/dark; simplicity/complexity; conscious/unconscious; order/chaos; all of which comprise what we know as the final pairing: Life/Death.
