Artist Statement:
Painting is my greatest joy and the communication of meaning my greatest challenge. Typically, I alter the scale of images to create a surreal atmosphere, using symbolism and metaphor to call attention to sociopolitical issues.
My work is derived from a collage or assemblage - this process being similar to that of massurrealists. To me massurrealism encompasses all we know and imagine but focusing on contrasts such as mass media/personal feelings; organic objects/man made objects; reality/fantasy et al. In this regard, the mandalas represent history as whitewashed by time vs eye witness accounts. This series represents 7 years researching these contrasts....
