Artist Statement
Much of my work is about the very nature and creation of images themselves, exploring them as assemblages of meaning that operate with their own, often mystifying logic that operate below the threshold of consciousness and beyond the apprehension and grasp of words. Universal narrative themes, folklore, myth, and their retelling in both popular culture and current events often serve as the ground with which I explore the mechanics of images and their role in cultural, and personal, meaning creation. It’s fertile territory. In these tumultuous times, ideology, reality, truth, science and technology seem to be in violent collision in the image world.
