ABOUT THE ARTWORK

n Minoans believed the bull is a creature of the cosmos, important to the sun and moon. The bull is a physical representation of an earth deity. Evidence can be found in the original Greek Minotaur myth and the infatuation with the white bull, the bull leaping games that connected man and beast spiritually, the ritual libation rhyton of worship, and lastly the horns of consecration that proved the bull in the mountain is the earth deity. Because they live in a turbulent world it was important for the Minoans to worship the earth to pacify the chaos of the universe, they believed man had the ability to overcome the natural environment through devote ritual. In the end the supremacy of man over nature did not succeed and the Minoan people succumbed to reoccurring devastation natural disasters.

MY WORK IS ESSENTIALLY A TRANSFORMATIVE PROCESS OF CREATION. I CAPTURE IMAGES OF CITYSCAPES, PEOPLE, URBAN FEATURES, ARCHITECTURE. THESE EASILY COMPREHENDED REPRESENTATIONAL IMAGES ARE THEN DISTILLED, ABSTRACTED AND REPURPOSED. MY PRACTICE REMOVES THE CERTAIN RECOGNIZABLY INHERENT IN THE IMAGES, STRIPPING AWAY AND CHANGING SCALE, FEATURES, DETAILS AND POINTS OF VIEW. THEY ARE THUS RENDERED DOWN TO THE FUNDAMENTAL BUILDING BLOCKS OF A NEW WORLD. COMBINING THESE ABSTRACTED IMAGES, DYNAMIC COLLAGES OF FRACTAL PATTERNS AND RHYTHMS EMERGE FROM APPARENT CHAOS. THEY STILL CARRY WITH THEM THE FAINTEST SUBLIMINAL SIGNALS OF OUR REALITY, TRANSFORMING THEM INTO THE FOUNDATIONS OF A WORLD THAT NEVER EXISTED BEFORE. AND YET, THE PERCEPTIVE VIEWER WILL SENSE A NAGGING FAMILIARITY FROM THE FAINT ECHOES OF OUR OWN REALITY THAT VIBRATE THROUGHOUT MY FINISHED WORKS.
