Statement 

I don’t have  much of an artist’s statement. Mostly I construct, or try to construct pictures. I react to, and interact with, various materials, colors, images, textures, marks. Everything I see, smell, taste and touch informs everything that comes after. Inspiration is trumped by work over time and lots of trial-and-error. I try to make the pictures interesting or entertaining (“entertaining” is that artistic blasphemy?) for myself and maybe for a few others.  Occasionally I succeed, often I fail. I keep at it.

Artist Statement

 

Of flesh and blood
Opened by scars
The inner fluids
Rush.
Words
Thrown on the wall
As if calling
For a last gasp.
If one of the brightest facets
Of beauty was
Rhythm of a sentence.
In Art,
The quest 

Of surpassing balance.

"What I look for in collage is simplicity above all.
The question I ask myself is how to change the meaning of an image by adding a single foreign element.
The addition of this element must provide the whole picture with an unrealistic atmosphere that challenges the original visual message, by giving a comical, strange or poetic result."
