"The purpose of my art is to call attention to our distorted perceptions of individual experiences...In Tumor Hive, a room-sized arc form of cloth in pinks and reds interprets the enormous emotional impact of an excised lump of cells gone amok. I share the experience of illness, but with bold shapes and visceral colors that draw in the viewer. Temple Hive, a large sculpture which viewers are meant to spend time in, is an idealization of the act of building a blanket fort in childhood. The work becomes a monument to a lost act and invites the audience to participate in the idea. They share in a moment of childhood interpreted with the skill of adulthood..." Monica Vidal
