Artist Statement:
I am interested in blending
traditional and contemporary
techniques and materials and
appreciate the challenge of
rendering form and depicting
the human figure especially.
The tools and skills I’ve
attained and developed are
used to their full advantage.
I try to assemble images that
are at once both tender and
strained, always searching for
visual combinations that evoke
more than just what is
immediately depicted, with the
intention other doorways into
the meaning of the work are
present. Once images are
composed, the actual execution
of the work becomes a way of
further exploring the ideas
and the overall tone I want to
express.
I draw mainly from memory and
personal narratives for
subject matter, and try to
show only that which is
necessary, cropping the
imagery closely to create
tension within the
composition. My pieces often
turn into diptychs coming from
a need to add more information
– to compliment or oppose its
counterpart. A goal of mine is
to set up imagery in such a
way as to have it be almost
too obvious at first glance -
allowing other layers of
meaning to surface, in turn
transcending initial
impressions.
