"While it’s the material itself that drives
my work, the images are always based on experience and
everyday events.
The whiteness blankets chaotic color underneath,
mirroring my own desire for control over life’s frequent
unmanageability. Like a scar or scab that refuses to heal,
the paintings are multiple, thick layers of paint that
are sliced through to reveal only a portion of the surface
underneath. All the color that is seen is only what’s
revealed through these etched lines.
Antique toys and games represent some of
the most recent work. I use simple games such as Skee-ball
and Badminton to convey the positive and negative sides
of competition in life: while improving strategy, dexterity,
and reasoning the player is also learning of gambling
and risk taking. The diptych format in all of the work
reinforces these ideas."
