BioARTIST STATEMENT
As an artist and subject in my work, I consider myself to be steward and ax man to the legacy of art history by cutting and serving up the reinvigorated past to be contemplated in context of the contemporary. Created out of “the anxiety of influence” and its effects on one’s artistic identity, these portraits develop from incongruous sources forced into an uncomfortable whole. In dealing with composite identities, the ontological is played out as a “physical reality” within the small, illusionistically wrought oils. Nearly every subject in my paintings receives an additional set of eyes. The superimposed eyes are like a mask, thus providing the opportunity to role play, hide, or act out.
With scissors in hand, I compose from snippets from several hundred pictorial fragments scattered about me on the floor. What is created is a prototype collage of layered scraps with cut edges. Some are photographs of me while others are cut up illustrations from art history. Trompe l’oiell methods exaggerate the collaged source material by showing the differences between the layered images. Painted on copper, these paintings are luminous jewels, created with the intent lasting quality.
