Artist Statement:
There is a process of
collecting artifacts, an
archaeological connection to
the recent past, which occurs
in the searching eye.
Decorative and functional
objects declared useless or
undesirable are resurrected
from their possible doom to
become a crucial element in a
work of art. With forethought
to the making of a painting,
these artifacts are selected
for their material function as
a picture plane and their
ability to suggest narrative.
This is the intersection of
object and illusion.
As one who describes the
world around him, an artist,
as well as anyone else, is
intrigued by the complexity of
his own physiognomy. The
portrait is a study of the
face; an illusion depicting
our most primitive and most
effective instrument of
communication. The face
houses the sensory organs
which, when viewed externally,
express ideas so complex and
intuitive that words fall
short of describing them. The
manner in which a person uses
his or her facial features on
a daily basis becomes a
representation of that
individual's mind or persona,
as perceived by the senses of
another. A portrait records
the process of collecting the
visual information evident in
one's face through formal
academic methods and
unconscious decision-...
