Artist Statement:
In formal terms, my current work is an exploration of form and color. My work references the figure and explores this relationships utilizing basic geometric shapes. I am interested in the tension that exists between this forms and the space which it both occupy. My long history with mixed media and photography has driven my current work, as I have returned to such traditional materials as paper, fabric, photographed images, and fabricated artifacts to produce works that focus on the process of creating surreal characters/creatures.
