Artist Statement:
The aesthetic experience
for me is religious and I
often refer to my work as
such. It is how I make sense
of my everyday world; organize
my anxiety into existential
meaning. For me, this happens
through performance...the
performance of art making.
Through a medium, I translate
the action of lived
experience. Sometimes this
action is a dialog between
self-proposed rituals and the
symbolism of the materials,
sometimes it is simply a way
to imprint life into a
contemplative visual
experience. Naturally I find
that some form of humor is
necessary to go on existing,
and I hope this manifests
itself in the process or
translation.
Anxieties about life and
death (the existential crisis)
drive my work. Rituals as
diverse as the birthday and
breathing often become
embedded in my process. Images
like the candle, the bird, and
the egg often appear in my
work. I try to emphasize the
significance of the material
and its connotations; such as
copper's healing properties
and the willow's (charcoal)
analgesic history.
I feel my work
incorporates traditions of
thought from John Dewey to
Martin Heidegger. I see a
resemblance between my work
and that of Joseph Bueys, Yves
Kline...
