Process - process as work, as labour, as the manipulation of materials, as the transformation of one element into another; and process as learning, as the gaining and dissemination of knowledge - has always been an important component of my work. [...] My work juxtaposes cultural artifacts with nature. My interest is not in nature as "natural" but in nature as the site of complex, contradictory process of manipulation and idealizations expressive of a desire to be connected, to make order, to find a pattern. -JB
