The pinhole method is something I have been doing for nearly ten years and is a primary medium of mine. While researching Australian Aboriginal art I was inspired by their use of dots. I translated the dots by poking holes through paper, making "pinpricks" or "pinholes" and felt I had found a way to communicate, in my voice. There is an austere and delicate beauty of making a pattern, image, or text with a subtractive process. It has been said my "works marry fierce and fragile through the exquisite and obsessive technique of pin-pricked imagery."

Pinhole relates to drawing and also fiber work. The repetitive process of poking one hole after another is like the accumulative gestures found in sewing, stitching or weaving. A friend of mine one remarked that he found my work to be "like sewing without thread". My mother was a weaver for many years and my grandmother enjoyed embroidery, so this process, in my mind recalls those traditions.
