The following is a selection of my work from a joint exhibition with Mimi Cabell; below is our statement. The piece was exhibited in the Image Arts Gallery in January of 2005.

It's a strange thing to be held rapt, to be held prisoner by your own memory. It's odd that sometimes the past seems more relevant, more affecting, than the present. The past is our shadow - vague in form, not clearly defined, yet doggedly following.

We traded pieces of journal writing, each taking the writing and re-interpreting the other's words and memories into images. The project resulted in a dialogue; representing conversations about memory, of how you record moments and feelings, of how writing speaks and images read.

There's a word that sums it up: acquiesce. There is a quietness and sense of resignation in dealing with your past. You battle with it, though some things may long be over. And eventually you acquiesce: you give in, you submit.

The immediacy of the past. It ebbs and flows, you watch it from a distance.
