STATEMENT

I am an artist who experiments with interactions.  By testing the reactions between various art media and subject matter, my intent is to allow connections between different ideas, images and objects to reveal a new understanding for both the observer and the artist. My process often employs chance operations, the notion of “play”, and spontaneous creation. These techniques are then worked and reworked until some sort of balance between the conscious and subconscious is reached.  My work often involves the absurd, created identity, coincidence, ritual, personal anecdote, and humor.
