Artist Statement

My work unfolds in the encounter of hand with matter. I am interested in the play of imaginal forms as they emerge in time. I want each piece to carry the idea of incarnation— the fall of spirit into matter— and to allude to the sense of inner, not optical, sight, as well as touch.

More work by Dorothy Nissen can be found on her web site:
