Artist Statement:
My art is about the power of
the image to bypass the
limitations of the self,
controlled through language
and its paradigms. The image
is a life raft. The connection
of the seer to the seen is the
same as self to other , or me
to you. Images, whether they
be paintings, digital works or
videos are gestalts, and
embody identity. My art is
about figure and ground that
is transformed in many ways-
materials, subject and
meaning. I am a situationist
and believe that art can
create new paradigms for the
future. It is a protected
frame of content that can
carry meaning, experimental
ideas and projections. I have
been a painter and sculptor,
and still work in those media,
but my primary form is now
digital art and video, or
hybrid combination.
Besides being an artist, I
have curated and organized
many exhibitions, in New York.
The Monumental Shows, Terminal
Show (Co-curator), Pan Arts,
Plexus. Recently curated "From
the Ashes" 911 Memorials and
