My work explores the relationships between life, love, sexuality, spirituality, and all that goes on inside the universe I call my mind. With influences as diverse as Scott Dykema and Jose Garcia, new variations are manufactured from both orderly and random layers. Ever since I was a young lad I have been fascinated by the ephemeral nature of the mind. What starts out as vision soon becomes debased into a manifesto of lust, leaving only a sense of unreality and the inevitability of a new reality. As momentary forms become clarified through diligent and diverse practice, the viewer is left with a statement from the edges of our world.
