Artist Statement
My works are figurative narratives; narratives about events, thoughts, or concepts. My work is also about relationships; relations with others, relations with self. I use technical representation as a tool to bring out the reality of conceptual ideas. I use the figure as a tool because we identify with it. My goal is to facilitate a narrative.
In my recent work, I am exploring the concept of memory. Memory intrigues me because it is intangible and fleeting. Existentially recalling a memory is interesting because the more one actively concentrates on a past event, the more that is uncovered. -And the actual image of a memory is also intriguing. In the brain, memories look like tiny pollinated vines. My most recent images illustrate tangible memories literally being interacted with. My goal with the memory series and all my work is to tell a story with multiple endings.
