My work manifests itself in variety of forms.
Irrespective of the techniques employed, they are the result of multiple elements coming together to realize the finished work. A community of elements that ultimately unify to be a unique whole. The manner in which the artworks reveal themselves take on an almost organic manifestation. Rather than precisely executed works, they appear almost to have germinated. This imbues the work with a sense of spontaneity and immediacy. They are gestures rather than refined realization of the end result. The utilization of multiple mediums presents a collaged experience that blurs the distinction between two and three dimensions.
Recent works have transitioned from purely abstract compositions to those that include figurative elements. Regardless of the approach, the surface becomes an expressive gesture of its own beyond a mere platform as the foundation of the artwork. Incorporating a variety of applied elements (fabric, rope, yarn, thread, paint etc.), the artworks are infused with a dynamic of color, dimension, ambiguity and tension. Within this order of randomness an aesthetic emerges that embraces the various parts to manifest a unified whole.
A separate and very different body of work is represented by three dimensional works often incorporating found and/or repurposed elements. They initiate opportunities for the reincarnation of elements destined for landfills. A current series constructed predominately of paper packing products. The results consisting of somewhat fragile material as opposed to the traditional sculptural mediums creates an interesting ambiguity and surprise. On the whole they offer an interesting commentary on contemporary society and culture with a sense of wit.
