Artist Statement:
PERSONAL STATEMENT ABOUT MY
PROCESS AND THE ART WORKS
Art can serve as a window on
the pain of those that are
unseen, and thus can hold the
promise of moving people to
take action. My goal in making
any series of work is to show
the suffering from many
differing viewpoints. I take a
highly personal approach to my
subjects and tend to focus on
the psychological condition
people are in as well as the
physical, using marks that
describe how people feel
inside, not just how they
appear. I want to express us
as true survivors and reveal
the tenderness, the courage,
and the dignity of human
beings living under conditions
that few can dare imagine.
The subject matter of my work
is generally narratives of
fragmented human bodies and
portraiture with symbolic
elements. I work with the
human figure out of compulsion
and necessity. Stemming from
an insatiable curiosity about
the actions, motivations, and
psychology of those around me,
the human figure has always
found its way into my art.
Being socially reserved by

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
I WAS BORN THIS WAY [A RIGHT BRAINDER] AND HAD NO OTHER OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO ME ... I WAS SLOW AT PLAYING THE GAME OF MATH AND THAT LIMITED MY DESIRES TO BE IN THE SCIENCES. I SPENT A GREAT DEAL OF MY LIFE IN RECOVERY AS A CHILD WITH MEDICAL AFFLICTIONS - I HAVE HAD 7 OR MORE SURGERIES - SOME OF THEM LIFE SAVING SOME FROM ACCIDENTAL INJURIES AND ALL LEFT ME SCARRED.
NO ONE THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LIVE PAST THE AGE OF 21 SO I LIVED MY LIFE AS IF IT WAS GOING TO END BEFORE THAT AND ENDED UP REFLECTING ON MY LIFE AT AGE 24 - I WAS BURNED OUT BUT STILL HERE AND LOST. I RETURNED TO MY HOME TOWN AND SUFFERED INJURIES IN A CAR ACCIDENT THAT EVENTUALLY FREED MY ARTIST AND I NEVER LOOKED BACK.
IT WAS THE BID FOR IMMORTALITY THAT BROUGHT ME TO WORK WITH THE ARTS OF ANTIQUITY - TERRA COTTA. THE TERRACOTTA'S LEAVE SHARDS THAT CAN BE PUT BACK TOGETHER AGAIN IF ALL THE PIECES ARE FOUND - CREATING IMAGES OF MY HISTORICAL RECALL THAT WOULD LIVE THROUGH THE AGES... |
