Artist Statement

Ronald Graham, a prominent mathematician, once said: “Juggling is sometimes called the art of controlling patterns, controlling patterns in time and space.” This is in part the reason why I juggle, the feeling of being in control is important to me. If I can’t control a situation it makes me uncomfortable, but aside from this I don’t really know why I like the feeling of control involved with juggling . I am wearing old-fashioned clothing because the past has a certain draw to me. So much has happened in the past that influences who we are today, and what will happen in the future. The future is also a concept that calls to me, the amount of scientific advances we are making today dictates that the future will be an incredible place, and a place I want to see. I put the sky in the background because the night sky often makes me think of the size of the world. The concept of the size of the world and the number of people in it constantly moving and living, all having their own lives independent of anything I know.
