Where does an artist get his inspiration? Even from a child’s imagination and ingenuity. I heard somewhere we are all experts in at least being ourselves, so there is a rich history of experience to draw upon as an artist. Everything is game.

About

My art isolates and brings the normalcy of cultural dehumanization and fragmentation to the forefront of perception by using the art gallery as an arena. I use the hierarchy of art space to open the audience to a “dis-illusionment” of assumed paradigms. I play with material specificity, re-contextualizing art space as an active medium in a role reversal of art and gallery that reveals and conceals at the same time.

Compassion is the answer to disillusionment. I look at the weak, the ignorant, and the old to understand my relationship with family and society. I explore what people value and what we will relinquish to feel secure in our convictions. My art explores the importance of memory and experience in determining identity. I am interested in the consequences of human vulnerability as it relates to an individual’s performance of identity based in reality. It is compassion for others that connects us to our humanity.
