“I am intrigued by contrast, the play of dark against light, the pull of empty space against the inclination to fill it up, the placement of line and shape, balance. Several years ago, I began working almost exclusively in a palette of black and white in a conscious effort to simplify process and design. Color has found its way back in as my work continues to evolve. And I have learned that in the end, process is never simple and good design is always balanced and strong."
