Artist Statement

The work I have been making for the last couple of years is primarily about exploration. I follow rabbit holes of ideas, visual stimuli, processes, pictorial structures, and what it looks like when I trace my time by having that time manifested visually. My work varies with each new smaller project I work on, but the above umbrella is how I work. My overall project is to glorify God, throw some sand in the gears of “the machine”, learn some things, and to make awesomeness, however that plays out.
