Description
I am obsessed with imagery, and will freely admit that I am a grangerizer, an appropriationist, gathering materials from a variety of influences and sources. Hours are spent, as the hunt is part of the process.
I continue to be drawn to the dark underbelly of life, which is often portrayed with a pretty candy-colored coating.
Inspiration comes to me at the oddest times. Often it is just a glance at some object or as subtle as a slap in the face.
I suppose I am also a storyteller. The stories I tell through my work reflect the way I view the world-often a brash voice in a room of hushed tones. My sometimes-controversial work arise more from conviction than contrariness. How one might interpret my work is, of course, unquestionably personal.
Some things never change. I continue to work today much in the same way I did when I was young-hunting, scavenging, cutting, ripping, pasting, enlarging, reducing and waiting for the magic moment when everything falls into place.
