Artist Statement

When looking at my body of work as a whole it is difficult to make connections between each individual piece. What few similarities there are between pieces are as follows.  

• I don’t stick to any one medium, typically I think that the image or the idea should dictate what medium you execute it in.  
• Images that I do make are almost always representational.  I have dabbled in abstraction and find it too limiting in terms of communication as well as too focused on the medium they are done in.
• I tend to reference other media, film, television, literature, etc... things that carry narrative.  

All of that said, in my more recent work stories become a common theme.  How we tell stories to each other and the relationship between author and audience are the specific topics I am currently focusing on. The process and decision making that goes into translating pivotal moments in a narrative or even tropes common to the rigid structure of folklore into single, charged image fascinates me and is the driving idea behind my current work.
