Artist Statement:
Creating a painting is, for
me, similar to assembling a
jigsaw puzzle. I piece
together images, words and
colors, working on the faith
that eventually the chaos in
front of me will come to
resemble the picture I have in
my head.
What has always seemed strange
to me is the fact that I do
not actually create the puzzle
pieces themselves. Like a
collagist clipping pictures
from old magazines, I go out
into the world and cut these
'found ideas' from the pages
of collective memory. My real
work as an artist is to bring
these ideas home and make them
speak, arrange them in a way
that communicates, through a
single image, my own unique
experience of that memory....
