Simply
put, my artistic and life philosophy are one and the same. Everything in
the universe is interconnected. There are different levels of active and
inert energy in all things, whether it be the color deposited in the
paper towels used to wipe my brushes, a glass or plastic fragment found
in the street, dried soil from a house plant, or a cowrie shell: they
all are used in one form or another and play a significant role in the
completed work.
My
mind and hands are instruments of higher forces in the universe;
therefore I am but a conduit in the circular time continuum. In this
solar system we exist in "there is nothing new under the sun,"
so I believe much of my work is informed with solar biological
equations, ancestral power, and metaphysical energy beyond conscious
thought or imagination. The viewer or "participant" then
becomes an integral part of the reason for the very existence of the
work. While I believe the finished object-regardless of medium is a
"life" independent of intellectual cognizance, its supreme
purpose is to engage the human senses. For it is only then that my
ultimate objective--to reach past the frontal lobes of the mind-and
hopefully discover the "oneness" of our humanity is possible.
