ARTIST STATEMENT

For much of my career I have held a great disinclination to the obligatory ‘artist statement’.   My foundational belief is that the art should speak for itself.  Rather than provide an explanation or road map to explore my work, I prefer that the viewer come to it free from guidance and allow their own histories to fund what they see before them.  Engagement and understanding become an intensely personal matter of choice and the willingness to spend the time with the artwork.

Things are seldom as they seem.
