My recent work is the result of my attempts to find out what it is to be human.  I wanted to experience passion in my life in the form of something I do from which there is an end product. I wanted to know what it is like to be focused, undistracted by my state or mood.  In this untapped medium, melting crayons on paper that is on a heated surface, the image changes swiftly because the continuous heat keeps the crayon in liquid form till I remove it from the heat source. This forces me to stay with it or I will lose any parts of the image I would have liked to have stayed static. Working with hot, melting, colored wax is my doorway to the present moment.
