STATEMENT

"If you call this a stick, you affirm; if you call this not a stick, you negate. Beyond affirmation and negation what would you call it?" Tai-hui, 12th century Buddhist monk |
|||
Within my work I create analogous relationships between seemingly disparate objects or images. Through these absurd associations I hope to bring forth essential similarities and accentuate opposites in order to create a visual and conceptual tension. I hope to strip these objects (words, symbols, ideas, materials, etc.) down to their own bare essentials to point to the fragility of "objectness" and the tenuousness of meaning. |

"I demand that he who still refuses ... to see a horse galloping on a tomato should be looked upon as a cretin." André Breton, 20th century Surrealist |
