statement

i live in longing, born of adventures explored and missed.
places that half exist –
familiar and foreign, not quite known
call to me.
there are worlds that reside in-between
deep in the collective imagination
and i push off from the shore in search of them

my work reflects the desire to know and not know -
to bushwack through some distant land and bring back
secrets and mysteries

my physical travels have incited in me this lust for the exotic
a quest for the unseen
and when i am anchored, i move freely to places of the imagination
in a continual state of openness and discovery.
my studio becomes my ship on open water.
