Statement

These paintings are reflections of some of the thoughts, activities, and preoccupations with which I occupy myself. While seemingly simple upon first glance, they hold meanings beneath the apparent surface. They might seem comforting, or almost inviting. They might seem confrontational. They might seem ambiguous. They might be consternating. They should elicit varying responses. The images are obviously derived from photographs, but they are not photographs. They have been created out of the necessity to create something, and they are meant to elicit responses. Perhaps to reveal something previously taken for granted.

You have my permission to bring to these works any interpretation that resonates within your beings. You always enjoy that right and have that permission, but many are hesitant to accept it. The intention of these works is to get you to not only (hopefully) admire the works in their own right, but to think about your own reasons for forming opinions.

The more you look the more you see.

The more you see the more you know.


The Drawings and Prints


The first four drawings were created in the spring and summer of 2001.

They were done with charcoal and black pasted on Rives BFK

and submerged into hot wax.
