Philosophy

My artwork is the result of the impetus to create, define and reveal a personal, distinct language. Using systems of logos, signs, and symbols, I have designed a lexicon of images that manifest universally in my work by way of metaphors and parables. Through my process, I investigate the ritualistic relationship I share with the various natural and synthetic materials utilized in my pieces. The allegorical imagery I offer illustrates a symbiotic world where characters and objects coexist with their respective environments. My narrative explores life and death through the various relationships the characters and objects share ecologically, industrially, and spiritually.
