Artist Statement:
Form is the very shape of
content and the abstract is
pure. We find ourselves
surrounded by and moving,
living and operating within a
world not of our own making: a
fabricated reality. Most
things in this world are
outside our manipulatory
control and have existed in
such a state since before us
and will continue to exist in
such a state long after.
Through my art the world
outside my control does not
matter and it is separate from
my reality of moving through
that world. A parallel
reality exists: one where the
deconstruction of images and
objects is defined by an
internal landscape of
spontaneity, confusion and
vitality.
An apparent absence of
technical procedure and
aesthetic convention may exist
in the eyes of the viewer
toward the object or the
subject that is visually
represented in my work, yet
what is present may be seen as
replaced with improvisatory
and schizophrenic qualities
exclusively. The viewer is
truly only separated from the
artist and the art by an
absence of a face-to-face
relationship in the same time
and space but shares a
universal consciousness of
visual thought.
