Artist Statement:
My earliest artistic impulses
were satirical. Whether
drawing unflattering cartoons
of family members or playing
the class clown, my creative
sparks were baby thunder
bolts. As I grew older it was
natural that I should grow to
love surrealism. I appreciated
the way surrealist images
pulled the rug out from under
the conventions I grew up
with. I lost myself in the
imaginary worlds created by
artists like Salvador Dali and
Hieronymous Bosch.
In contrast to these artists
my creative inspiration
required that my artwork exist
in the world in three
dimensions. I would be a
surrealist sculptor. After
graduating from the University
of Toronto in 1982 with an
Honours BA in political
science and a solid grounding
in what a blighted place our
world is, I went to search for
my piece of Mammon. I utilized
my artistic skills as a three
dimensional illustrator for ad
agencies. I did not abandon my
dream of being a surrealist
sculptor, but added to it a
new dream. I hoped to create a
themed gallery for my art work
and the work of other like
minded artists. I hate
displaying my art work in
clinical gallery environments
like some sort of lab ...
