ARTIST STATEMENT
With my work I am expressing a
personal narrative.
I believe the use of narrative
is
a quick and accessible format.
Translating oral narrative into
a visual narrative not only reveals
the significance of the story, but it
teaches me about myself and extends
that revealing and teaching device to
the viewer.
The pieces presented are a narrative
of the evolving hero and his many
trials and tribulations.
The hero's journey is a voyage
of self-discovery, an expedition whose
true destination is the realm within
each of us, where we must find our own
unique center with all its strengths
and weaknesses.
The journey is not just physical, but
a spiritual one, as the hero evolves
from ignorance and innocence to
experience and enlightenment.
The most outlandish adventures
are accounted with an eye fixed on the
bare essentials.
Battles against time, against the
obstacles that prevent the fulfillment
of desire or the repossession of
something cherished but lost are
themes that provoke me.
Revealing truth and humor in
the face of horror and the seemingly
absurd is my answer.
