Mis piezas de clavos martillados son una serie de obras de arte inspiradas en el hilo común del ritual que se encuentra en casi todas las culturas y religiones. Cada pieza de pared es una ‘página’ táctil que contiene esperanzas, deseos y aspiraciones. Creadas en el espíritu del escriba monástico europeo iluminando manuscritos o de un monje tibetano creando un mandala de arena, estas obras abarcan tanto la búsqueda de un yo evolucionado como las esperanzas de una humanidad más iluminada. Son objetos de optimismo humano tangible, literalmente martillados, en un código personal de clavos. Cuando comencé a ‘escribir’ con clavos en mi arte, quería crear un lenguaje que pudiera sentirse tanto como verse. El proceso laborioso resonó profundamente en mí, induciendo un estado casi meditativo. Ahora veo los clavos como unidades tangibles de mis intenciones, que cambian de identidad de lenguaje tal como lo conocemos, a la trama del mundo físico.
