That we live in troubled times is probably one of the few things we can all agree upon right now. How each of us manages this predicament varies greatly. My paintings and drawings are my own peculiar way.
Simple elements of the natural world—such as rocks, sticks, animals, and tree stumps—are the starting points through which I communicate my distress. As I paint I dredge my innermost thoughts and sensations until they come to the surface in distilled fragments. I make marks on the surface until I stop, at which point the part of the work created in my isolated studio is complete.
But this does not mean the work is finished. Placed on the wall of a public space and released from my custody, the work comes into contact with the external world, open for interpretation.
