Rondo#10 Fine Art Print

My practice involves the dialogue between order and chaos. The process is a constant experiment with the physical properties of the materials I am working with-moving between addition and subtraction, making and unmaking. The art is made up of (mistakes or happy accidents) during the process, but these ‘mistakes’ are useful to make because they may lead little by little I hope to the small truths. My work is inspired by the natural and man-made phenomena I observe in the world around me. The Portal Series has percolated in my mind for a long time, originally focused on the idea of a “nest”. When I started drawing it morphed into something with broader meanings, including entry into a void, the eye the passageway into the soul, of course, a "nest' from one stage of life to another. My Road Rage photography series tackles these same problems and attempts to capture this same dynamic, through the lens of the camera. While out on the streets, I am always on the lookout for ambiguous accidents of beauty and power, ground into the common pavement.
