Artists Statement

I often set out with an idea or concept in mind and, as though I am an observer, I watch as the work unfolds.  I try to attend to the metaphysical side of creativity at least as much as the physical.  

I believe that we focus far to much on science and deprive the arts.  Although I have great respect for science, I place Art above science.  It is from Art that all good science evolves.  Today, living in a backwards world, we place the artist in the last place when in fact, its the artist’s job to lead the way into the future.

In my sculpture and painting, I struggle to express my creativity.  I find that this struggle both exhausts me and invigorates me.  It is this paradox that helps me to remain focused on my appointment with the infinite.  

The illusion of time

‎"People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion." ~ Albert Einstein

The brick s..t house

I am reminded of the sum of parts argument.  You can take a pile of bricks and built a s..t house with it or you can take the same pile and build a wall with it.  The s..t house and the wall are quite different things but they are composed of the exact same material.  Could we not conclude that the universe is more than the sum of its parts?
