My creative process is a spiral, not linear. Although I approach each new work with playful experimentation, over the decades I find myself constantly circling back to certain persistent symbols and themes. The menu of this site retroactively groups together certain kinds of work spanning over 20 years, but that share similar imagery or themes.
