WEBSITE LAUNCH!
"Art alone makes life possible – this is how radically I should like to formulate it. I would say that without art man is inconceivable in physiological terms".
-Joseph Beuys
Warm welcome to my brand new website, I am overly excited to be eventually launching and thankful you took the time to check it out. I will be using it as a continuous platform to showcase my most recent works, explore ideas and new concepts, create and promote important dialogs regarding all aspects of the human experience, collaborate with a host of other exciting artist and maybe even reluctantly part with a few of my pieces along the way, when I eventually get around to opening my online store that is, but for now I am just happy you stopped by and be sure to keep popping back and to follow my work on social media.
A little about what inspires me to produce work:
Within nature, we find reoccurring thematic patterns, forms and structures from expressions of life discernible to the human eye, to towering woodland and even the greater cosmos. These are symbolic of the underlying metaphysical principle of the inseparable relationship of the part to the whole. It is this principle of interconnectedness, inseparability and union, as well as the dualistic nature of all things and the divine crossing of these polarities that permeates the work I produce, in an effort to, even in some small sense, reestablish the seemingly fractured connection between human kind and the earth and to greater my own awareness of both the world within and without.
My most recent body of works explore the metamorphoses and physical transformative processes visible within nature, from the moth, to the shedding of a snake, and how these processes may parallel nonphysical or metaphysical transformations one may undergo within the human experience. I feel in today's society, one must transition through a form of shedding process, but one that is far more ambiguous in nature than the clearly physical process of shedding a serpent must undergo If one is to ever acquire a certain sense of clarity or understanding of oneself and ones existence. I feel that instead of skin, one must begin to shed and dismantle the structures that support ones collated fears, traumas, doubts and mislaid beliefs, that have been predominantly adopted from external sources and the cultural and societal parameters of ones upbringing.
Although I usually implement multiple mediums with my works, predominantly, I explore the capabilities of screen printing, sculpture and film in an attempt to expand upon the applications of the practices and to form relationships between the natural world and contemporary art practice.
