Artist Statement:
Producing images which flit
back and forth between the
figurative and the abstract,
my central preoccupation is an
exploration of the multi-level
emotional and mental processes
involved in the miraculous
emergence of a conceptual and
spiritual apprehension of the
world from raw, committed
perception: the mystery of
mind in the world.
As I work I seek a quality of
concentrated attention rooted
in a state of mental quiet.
From here I watch for
intuitions from the interior.
These intuitions, inherently
ambiguous, surface in the
language of dimly-lit memories
and fugitive insights, of
poetry and dreams. It is my
task to crystallize them as an
image.
In so far as I conceive of my
work as an attempt to
translate intimations of the
transcendent into pictorial
terms, my art could be said to
have a religious, or
spiritual, basis. Indeed, I
feel that these images are
best approached in a spirit of
contemplation.
