The bodies of work I have are quite divergent. I deal with metaphors of sexuality, class, slavery, political positions globally and organizations such as the KKK. The images I use to reveal my thoughts come in forms of rich, historical play on war (personal warfare as well as militaristic.) These works most often portray the absurdity and ridiculousness of acts taken by such members that have had catastrophic effects on our lives and continue to do so.
I am not only curious about the biological, repetitive shapes that seem to create the simplistic images in riverbeds, the shadows cast by the moon and sun on the reflective surface of the water moving over shallow gullies and eddies in nature. It is also the great organic sculptures built by the elements that reappear in my paintings and prints. Such artists as Andy Goldsworthy, Deborah Butterfield and Ana Mendieta have had vast influence on the way I work on a two dimensional surface.
The cellular structure of society and the subway system of capillaries that take the blood from one part of the body to another are of great interest to me. It is like the wind traveling over sand in the Gobi desert to manipulate the day's painting. These systems and the structure of DNA are what make up who we are and what decisions we make throughout time.
