Statement
As my work becomes more
complex, it is becoming
sinister, yet still playful,
and unsuspecting. Each piece
of work is built of scraps and
discarded materials that I
hope will ferment an emotional
response in the mind-soul
witness of them. When I start
working on a piece I usually
pick one simple image or
artifact and place it in a
frame with wire in a
random-like fashion.From there
I begin a series of
associative connections coming
from within arranging toys,
home paraphenelia, and
discarded papers giving them a
new context and a new content.
I include acrylic paint, oil
pastel, pencil, varnish, and
other mediums I choose to
increase the visual components
of my work . A learned freedom
liberates the artistic
accidents surrounding the
ideas portrayed. These ideas
are not about the images per
se but interpretative
manipulations through images.
I create personal associative
imagery, humorous and slightly
dark.I invite the viewer to
decipher the image symbols and
the meaning behind the work,
much like heiroglyphs and...
