| About the Artist |
|
Distinctive themes interweave in my work such as the human condition, sexuality, identity and contamination. I utilize different mediums in a systematic order to arrive at the end result. I compare this methodical approach to stages of procreation.
I investigate form without parameters, fashioned through amalgamation of disparate components. I explore concepts such as the metaphysical aspect of vector symbols becoming matter or a seed that propagates itself into an organic manifestation. I find the relationship between surface and content and the interdependence between the two in order to sustain life absorbing. This co-dependence can be illustrated by the relationship between a film and the poster created to promote it. A movie poster is a single still from the film that holds a mesmerizing power, initiating a viewer’s instantaneous imagination of what the film might be. The relationship between film and poster can be likened to the relationship between the container and the contained, the skin and the viscera.
I frequently work with the idea of film and its use of multiple stills to evoke motion and evolution. I plan out the installation with rough sketches, much like a storyboard. Subsequently, sculptural objects are created, the materials are assigned, and each segment is photographed. The occurrence of motion and evolution examined through my work is also symbolic of the human condition. Every individuals state of being changes significantly during the course of one single day, due to the evolutionary nature of the human psyche and the constant adaptation to environment and mood. As a result, what one considers palatable in the morning is not necessarily deemed appealing in the afternoon or the evening. The route traced by these transitions is what I refer to as a DRILL, epitomized by my slogan, If you catch me at the right time, I might be in the mood, or, Become what you eat, this phrase is derived from my belief that the eventual use or consumption of the art dictates the final form and content. |
