Artist’s Statement

I think that the phrase “A personal history of parts of objects” captures what is going on in my photos -- which focus on enjoying and exploring the details of decaying/worn objects.

My non-photo art uses textures and contrasts to drive engagement with the piece.

That said, my sculptures

reflect this more than my paintings

Photo of Painting: acrylic on canvas

A side note: when the need strikes, I occasionally do pieces of furniture -- they usually consist of intense bursts of anti-entropic fabrication.
