| Statement
Peeling back, stretching and delving deep into the re-pre-programmed
binaries of the slippery hard to hold feelies an invisible
anesthetic bubbles, swallowing one another, making reality
indiscernible, impossible tasks for the breeding hums regarding
only reflections as super genetic mixes, pure in its silvery
stillness: Knowing what feelies know without experience or
transformation. Experience. Feel. Make. Think. Make. Think.
Birthing something to label with changing words, grasp grasping
grab literalizing unknown knowns. “This is it fuck-face.”
Break it! Break it unmake it into uselessness certainty of
retinal remoteness and visible invisibilities of the unseen
past. “I am working here.” The hairy viscous envisioned
an ever thinning never growing eggshell slowly breaking under
its own projection of translucent sounds reflected in a twenty
second commercial. Careful, follow the crack cracking of the
breaking shell. Watch and then! Then I have it and understand
totally nothing else and falling into an eggshell chasm, I
am engulfed in wet darkness, smelly feels. Feel, feel. You
feel now.
and,
My artwork is a direct reflection of my own observations and
experiences within society. Collecting these, I translate
them into contemplative visual and experiential art. Since
my work is driven by experience and idea, I am able to free
myself from specific media concerns enabling the utilization
of any medium that successfully develops my response. The
multiplicity of forms I have created; which include painting,
video, sculpture, and installation, are presented in such
a way as to encourage the viewer to engage with them as an
experience of space and form on a psychological, illusory
and/or physical level. Besides my love of learning new processes,
a variety of forms serve as a continual challenge to my own
developing taste, which I see as a constant trap to be avoided
at all cost. Working against such things as comfort and the
known in exchange for discomfort and frustration is an exercise
of will, which I value as paramount for surviving in the world.
