Artist Statement:

Art reflects the process of its manufacture. Like Paul Klee, I make work to discover what I don't know. I make art to live more intensely, to learn something about myself and the human condition, and to change.

My approach to the creative act in the studio can be summed up in four words: expression through methodological formalism. This formula encapsulates my belief that form and content are inseparable, that formal analysis is a means of discovering content, and that content matures and becomes clarified though the internal pressure of form.

By “expression” I do not mean the encoding of consciously held ideas in visual form; or emoting, the spontaneous outpouring of feelings. “Expression” in my sense of the word is a function of an artist’s character and his entire working life, which includes his failures and his choice of models.

My purpose as an artist is ultimately to communicate meaning to the viewer, to engage them in a process which is both existential and cognitive. The most significant meanings I find in my work are the ones I discover through the process of making the work. These milestones are what make the journey fulfilling.
