As an artist I move between phases of exploration and creation. My work
seeks to express emotive states through the human form, and world-states
of intricate surrealist abstractions. When art is at its finest, artist
functions as medium, the channel through which automatic processes can
take place. A medium through which viewer and art can form dialogue -
the artist takes a secondary role: as structure rather than focus or
form itself.

As an artist I move between phases of exploration and creation. My work
seeks to express emotive states through the human form, and world-states
of intricate surrealist abstractions. When art is at its finest, artist
functions as medium, the channel through which automatic processes can
take place. A medium through which viewer and art can form dialogue -
the artist takes a secondary role: as structure rather than focus or
form itself.
To me 'good art' is art which is more than the sum of its lines, its
concepts, and critical analysis. 'good art' is something that remains
ultimatly undefined, observable from different perspectives, something
which holds something of meaning every time it is re-observed, by
different people. In a vocabulary that transcends language. A
solidification into visual/audio form of an experience-state which would
otherwise remain inexpressible. Bound by time, but inherently timeless.
Each line is alive, eyes speak and can be peered into, every element in
hierarchy and yet all independently valid. The dualistic truths of
rational - and irrational, scientific - and holistic, infinite,
multidimensional and yet intimately personal modes of life.
My art is a window into my unique world, but also a truth that hopefully
will be re-interpratable in countless other ways by yours. Art that
stands on its own, with or without definitions.
I thank you, please enjoy.
