Artist Statement: " The work I have been engaged in over the last 30 years has been primarily work in public art. I am interested in work that can operate on many levels, including forms that are able to transcend their limitations. I am interested in work that is physically rooted yet speaks to the spirit. My work strives to be straightforward in the most roundabout way, it is the smoke that can reveal the laser. There are no simple answers to matters of the heart. The work samples I have included are a representation of my desire to create work that is accessible, yet sheds light on the complexity of the human condition. I have developed this work in my studio and it reflects my interests and my desire to come to terms with a variety of issues. These issues include love, family, history, cause and effect, and our connection to the natural world. I also was very interested in trying to work in a way that forgoes forced cleverness and obfuscation, yet is connective and provocative. " |
