I use seemingly benign, somewhat enticing, imagery to draw
my audience into a layered and unsettling world of complexities. Among the kitsch and banal I cram the gross, grotesque, obnoxious, and weird.

I am an opportunistic miner of "the cultural landfills" My imagery is a collision of
sources, styles, and subjects that operate in an open ended and non linear construction of reality. Like the Internet, and a good soap opera, there are numerous inlets and sub narrative paths that intersect with a network of others. Crawling over, climbing out, hiding within, and digesting its surrounding; my work plays with image glut choc-full of cliché visual puns, and deadpan humor. I hope that this humor operates as a coping mechanism and ice-breaker.

I work with readymade systems using them as a departure point. In these assemblages I am resurrecting obsolete technologies, and in the furniture I am reclaiming disregarded objects. These often rigid structures provide me some parameters to start finding, hiding, and projecting imagery. I embrace spontaneity and let the work take on its own life remixing the boundaries of the pre-existing source While I hide personal narratives within the work I am less interested in autobiography, and more so in the viewer recognizing their self within the complexity.
