My work continues to explore the relationship between Jungian archetypes and unwanted gifts.

With influences as diverse as Dylan and Abstraction, tensions are generated from both constructed and discovered discourse.

Ever since I was a pre-adolescent I have been fascinated by the traditional understanding of meaning. What begins as triumph soon becomes debased into a dialectic of depression, leaving only a sense of failing and perhaps the chance of a new beginning.

As spatial forms become transformed through experimentation dissonance, you may be left with a hymn to the darkness of our existence.

In the broadest perspective, the positive and negative counterbalance desensitizes the spectator. The active design elements in effect alienate and accentuate the misperceptions inherent in the piece. Though I am loathe to rate art, reducing it to a Rotten Tomatoes aesthetic, I must give this one a
42%.  ~ Anke Fuerst, Art Universe

I own this.

My work explores the relationship between the universality of myth and romantic imagination.

With influences as diverse as Wittgenstein and Francis Bacon, new variations are crafted from both constructed and discovered textures.

I have been fascinated by the essential unreality of the human condition. What starts out as yearning soon becomes finessed into a manifesto of greed, leaving only a sense of nihilism and the inevitability of a new order.

As momentary replicas become transformed through frantic and diverse practice, the viewer is left with an epitaph for the edges of our existence.
