ICONS & ARTIFACTS

My intrigue with photographs has always sided with those images, which by their orchestration reveal much about the views of their author. Utilizing the camera's (or scanner's) ability to transform the seemingly ordinary subject into extraordinary objects whose enigmatic presence and connotative qualities are worthy of contemplation, it is my aim to provide viewers with some insight into my personal philosophies as well as components of the culture(s) of which I represent.

Cultural observation blended with personal muse and information becomes the basic ingredients when considering my art. Through the use of repetition in sequential or serial imagery, I have chosen to amplify and identify the essential qualities or character of each idea. It is the similarity from piece to piece that helps announce their meanings and provides the context for understanding and appreciating these works. Yet, despite the seemingly seriousness of these works on and these words meant to clarify them, I hope that the playfulness, wit, and humor that is also a part of these images also shines through.
