Vomit Painting

The arts are key foundations for my endeavors. Painting, sculpture, and music are inspirations through which I draw great motivation to create. I am fascinated with the ideologies of abstract expressionists and their transcendence of representation by requiring viewers to recreate visual sense. I believe art is an abstract summarization of thoughts and emotions that bear direct resemblance to life. As a purist I aspire to strip form to a further abstraction that leaves nothing but a vulnerable emotive state: a raw power that will subdue the viewers perception through the conceptual reality of my work. I am interested in exposing and expressing dissonances of like materials and how they interact with one another; in other words I am interested in relationships and investigating the bounds that they may be subject to. I believe that these dissonances can symbolize relationships that we have with those around us as well as more complex introspective conflicts. The intent of investigating such a "meditative" subject is a desire to release the deep emotional perplexities that come with artistic temperament. Oh yea, I also sing and play guitar in a noisy, loud, kick-ass rock band called Washing Machines. You can check out our music using the link below...
