Statement:
My work is an attempt to create and illustrate a personal mythology. I am interested in producing a symbolic vocabulary to rediscover and retell the metaphysical narratives that frame my experience. Ultimately I’ve produced a recurring cast of characters to help these stories unfold. They are placed in compositions that vaguely suggest metaphysical occurrences but intentionally leave the details to the viewer. The ambiguity is intended to allow the characters to play in their meanings and roles, and also meant to encourage a personal reflection in the viewer. My process is a way for me to redress age-old figures and themes according to my personal experience. It is a way for me to find my place in these narratives, in the hopes of maintaining or renewing their relevance. |
