Through seeing I witness.  Through painting I engage.

The nature of duality is the conceptual medium that motivates my process and my intention.  It is the action that allows me to separate the relationship between our created selves and our intrinsic self.  Art allows me to subjugate the objective as a means to deconstruct our cultural influences.

Painting provides me with a working dialogue between the positive and negative between something and nothing between action and reaction, and between the fixed and the fluid.  I navigate through these experiential paradigms where concept, percept, motive and will are not separate; they are the webs that hold me to the sequence of events in my life.  I catalog these events in my memory and make them into art.

When I feel powerless I create powerful work. I become satisfied. It delivers something new each time. A new method will arise.

If I tempt you, suspend you, make you question, make you realize something about yourself, make you witness the abstraction of time, then I have succeeded. 

Everything else is just the remains.
