Artist Statement
"We go through our lives acting on our assumption of free will, while all the while being bombarded with influence from other internal and external forces. Often, our personal stimuli - memories, inspiration, longing, lust - seem to come from somewhere outside ourselves, outside our control. Even our dreams are involuntary and un-tethered. The passage of time and tug of gravity on our fragile physical selves weigh heavy and infuse our most optimistic and hopeful endeavors with the faint tang of futility and temporality. Any effort, toward outcomes both positive and negative, depends more than we care to admit on the cooperation of unknown strangers, indifferent physics, and the arbitrary nature of chance.

Much of my work brandishes a sort of ambiguous eroticism – a vaguely (and sometimes not-so-vaguely) sexual tension that shows through even the most neutral imagery. The multiple figures which populate many of my recent works share narratives that are compelling but not quite overt, encouraging the viewer to project their own stories and points of view into their interpretations.

The pattern elements in my work serve as a sort of undercurrent. The metaphorical, the metaphysical. The subliminal, the subconscious. The passage of time, unspoken connections, a sense of place. With the comparatively concrete elements, like figure, the combination produces an interesting duality: the visual equivalent of the said and the unsaid, text and subtext."
