Artist Statement
I "collect" and reassemble flotsam and jetsam. I take
note of the litter that I pass on the street; I remember the misconceptions
that I had as a child and scribble down words and trivia that I
have forgotten. I recreate these objects and spaces and ideas through
drawing, painting and collage. Most of my imagery is generic in
nature. By virtue of being generic, it is at once devoid of and
loaded with meaning. These discrete objects are then juxtaposed
(glued, sewn, painted, drawn) in such a way as to create a set and
its props that suggest a dramatic /tragic/comic narrative. While
the narratives that I imply are absurd, they make perfect sense
in a mechanical, two-dimensional sense.
