Artist Statement
Through my work I evaluate potential aspects of world society’s future through ideas of spaces, ecology, spirituality, communication, and economics. Much of my drive is the need to make sense of changing perceptions of space, language, and culture to deconstruct rapid de-romanticizing of contemporary life in the recent information era of humanity that is coming to a close. This is an effort to allow societies to reestablish venerability and ceremony in everyday banalities to harmonize seemingly contrary economic and spiritual concepts. My process aims to illuminate the pitfalls of how, in a very general sense, global contemporary culture is passively described as inherently counterproductive and less deserving of reverence than previous civilizations or cultures.
My medium of choice is ink and paper as they are materials which universally represent the thin line between the two schools of human visual expression: representational drawings and illustrations, and abstractions in the form of symbols and written language. I imagine my body of work to be an infinite written language in which each piece represents a single letter or syllabic phrase that correlates to the personal conveyance displayed.
With my art and its related applications in various forms of design projects I want to inspire new pathways of living in humanity's beginning synthesis era.
