Artist Statement:
My goal is to create a new

the direction of art for the
twenty-first century. This new
direction is moving
diametrically away from
nineteenth century Modern Art,
and twentieth century āvant
garde / postmodern. Few
artists today have the courage
to reject modernist ideas,
such as Realism, Primitivism
and reductive thinking of the
last century as well as
Abstraction, Surrealism / Pop

Neo-Dadaist, Anti-Art game
approach expands the
boundaries of art by declaring
the Non-Art art, thereby
eroding the foundations of
art. The line has been blurred
which once separated nature
from art. The Duchamp camp
views itself as an alternative
art form. The iconoclastic
practices of this art form
have become familiar and
passé, and have now been
embraced by popular culture.
The purpose of great art has
always been to be a maker of
art and not a destroyer of it.
The intentional, illogic ideas
placed forth by this movement
have confused the viewer and
weakened the essence of art. I
am trying to reverse this
process by tightening
boundaries that will make art
more recognizable to the
viewer and enabling it to
regain its proper status ...
