ARTIST STATEMENT

 

My art places humanity under my lenses and filters, illuminating glitches, behavioral patterns, contradictions and the wonders and adventures of living.  The result is art that often exhibits a dark side coupled with an edgy sense of humor.  It is informed by the absurdity of social, political and religious hypocrisy, yet has an underlying optimism and an acknowledgment of the daily demands of being human.  I challenge the current world order, and the agreements for living that humans have made.  I make art that is thought-provoking without being heavy-handed.  Art that honors the history of found artifacts, while transforming them into fresh and powerful free-standing and wall assemblage.
