Artist's Statement

I am still trying to learn how to play.Turning off the inner critic and seeing what happens.Giving myself rules to work within so as not to be overwhelmed withpossibilities.Using the figure in an abstract way.Giving the bare essentials of what it is to be human.Not explaining it all.But having a psychological content float through the work.Working for timeless images.
