I am propelled by a need to create that which is inherently linked to my experiences and ideas. This is based on two important concepts that influence my work.

The first has to do with my relationship to the waste I produce and the waste I come across in my day to day. The exponential amount of trash we discard is of immense concern to me, but at the same time it is an opportunity because of the infinite and unpredictable supply of materials that can be reused for my own artistic purposes.

By altering the identity, values, and everyday meaning of these materials there is a chance to see them with a new vision in an artistic context. 

The second concept I incorporate into my work has to do with the idea that there is an obscure, somewhat incomprehensible, universal language that connects everything. This language seems organic, yet it is also mathematical in the precise way that patterns are repeated and represented throughout. This concept manifests itself in so many ways such as how microcellular life forms resemble indigenous symbols which in turn mimic astronomical observations through modern technology. Colors, shapes, and patterns prove the link between everything in the Universe. 

By using lines, pigments and the textures from discarded materials, I am making an artistic connection between the most ancient aesthetic ideas and the foreseeable future. Between nature and technology. I am creating modern tribal icons.

My process involves the spontaneity of the moment. The setting, the materials at hand, the mood and the colors available dictate the direction. Discarded objects and graphic elements intertwine to create a composition which tends to lie somewhat on the verge of abstraction. Layers upon layers of thoughts, colors, and lines that call to other times yet are glued to the present here and now. It is ultimately a process of tapping into my self and expressing that which words cannot.
