Artist Statement
I am consistently reminded by this work that we do not need
to seek meaning or beauty or solace, or even adventure, very
far from ourselves, and that our singular experiences reveal
universal truths. I try to steer clear of the pitfalls inherent in mere
mimicry; instead I look to elicit the fundamental and visceral
recognition of truths inherent in really looking to know, and in
the land and its innate emotional and spiritual power.
