Artist Statement:
There are two distinct ways I
create. One is to see or
imagine a beautiful angle of a
body and want to capture it,
to show that essence which
gives the skin life. The other
springs from my dreamworld. It
feels so nebulous to me, and I
feel that by transferring that
vague feeling I get sometimes
when I wake from a crazy dream
I can name it and know it. You
know that never really works
though. As soon as you name
something you make it mundane
and knowable. I love the
mystery of what cannot be
named.
But the mystery still eludes
me, which is why I love it.
Put it this way: I'll have an
idea of something I want to
create. I'll start it, and
then before I know it the
media takes over my muscles
and the idea becomes its own
creature and births itself out
of my own hands, using my
eyes. I am vaguely aware of
the process of creating when
this happens. I'll wake up the
next morning, as of course
they always birth late at
night, and my eyes will pop
open and I'll be so excited
...
