For over three decades I’ve been working to complete a body of art that focuses on the underbelly of personal emotional dialog, primarily addressing questions regarding my own physical abilities (or lack there of) and intellectual shortcomings. Coupled with an intense interest in the extremes to which people go to toward achieving satisfaction, be it physical spiritual emotional or sexual. For example, like the Austrian and German Expressionists before me I’ve attempted to open doors to a world that may be uncomfortable for some to step into- A glaring reality that uses humor and Inversely proportional juxtapositions to convey scenarios to which the viewer is attracted, though generally left with a sense of shamed arousal.
That’s the multi-syllabic art-speak version. The short version is that I make stuff because I think the process is foundational to the human experience. Second to that, I don’t really know any other way.
