Dualities

 

Reality and illusion are subjects that can be explored through specific imagery or amorphous abstraction. They are frequently not as contradictory as I expect them to be.

 

Nuance and recklessness are equally invaluable as methods for use in uncovering truths that are sometimes simple, often uncomfortable and nearly always unexpected. I need both for what I want to do.

 

People and things, structures and systems are in a never-ending condition of pulling together and breaking apart. I am fascinated by this continual state of flux.

 

Histories and futures coexist in the mind. As a contemporary artist, I am looking to find the spark that can develop while rubbing sticks at the spaces in between.
