My art is interested in an underlying shared experience. When I decide to press the shutter-release button on the camera or put ink or paint down on a print, it's to make a record of a time and place that is open and uncertain. This is the groundwork from which I look to interpret the means of experience. As discoveries are made, patterns are formed, producing different bodies of work. Each work takes a different path toward new questions about looking, thinking, feeling, believing, knowing, time, space, nature, civilization and much more. In the making of art, it is not truth that I am hoping to comprehend, but the way in which we search for truth, intending to grasp this human tendency and yearning to understand our experiences, which are infinite.
