You
And What Army
This work is a visual manifestation of what I have learned and experienced in the world that I perceive is being handed to my generation. Indebted to the good fortune I have had in my life, I feel a responsibility to respond to what I understand to be injustices, misrepresentations and manipulations. These works are questions more than
answers. I am interested in the conversation between artist,
object, and viewer the conversation between people and
the things that they create as they pertain to all aspects
of our lives. I believe that is one of the responsibilities
of artists, one that is not new just often forgotten.
Art to me is a creative problem solving formula that can
be taught or innate, experienced or naive, and that can
have a considerably further reaching relevance than the
art gallery.
The concept that drives my works may seem direct to some
but I have found that my works are often informed by the
things I do not understand, and cannot fathom how to change;
what amount to my fears. These works are mostly the thoughts
I am reluctant to ask and not brave enough to shout aloud,
thoughts that may come in a trickle or a flood at any
given moment, often triggered by images that link objects
to ideas.
In our media rich reality certain objects become iconic
and immortalized in a personal and collective consciousness.
These works are contemporary icons informed by this experienced
consciousness.
