These are the constants that guide and inspire me, confound and challenge me, and compel me to make art:

The philosophical and physical presence of the book, as repository of memory and loss, as a vehicle for transmitting transcendent information, as a singular object binding together a multiplicity of ideas.

The visual power of word and image combined, the notion that both word and image are formed from abstractions, and both are codes to be deciphered.

An engagement with Judaic subject matter: ritual, ceremony and classic texts, and the resulting synthesis of tradition and modernity.

The mark making of printmaking and calligraphy—repeatable (printed) and unique (hand-drawn).

Exploring the beauty and power of line, and the graphic essence of a letter–whether it can be “read” or not.

Investigating the very nature of visual language.
