Intrigued, say hello...
Artist Statement:
The interrelation of all life forms is the central tenet in my art. My work uses a personal vocabulary of images without reference to a specific time or place, providing space for the viewer to experience the piece with no overt cultural references or narrative.
In my paintings I use a process of "finding" imagery by first covering the surface with a dry brush wash or scumbling. I then make more concrete the images suggested to me by the marks on the surface.
This initial process results in a synthesis of memory and imagination, a momentary mirage across the surface of the support providing a blueprint for the evolution of the piece. Each work created is a fluid continuation on the reciprocal connectivity of the natural world, manifest in the presence (and absence) of consciousness in living things as seen in the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms.This mining of the subconscious is a cumulative work, forming a crescive visual lexicon and transcendent energy that constitutes the homogeneous thread present in my work.
