| Introduction | I devour sculpture, painting, photography, design, video, and architecture to sculpt space and experiences. My sense of humor noir is my stylistic signpost. The visual dialogue requires the viewer to possess a sleuth like eye, who is particularly attracted to a politically and socially charged bumpy ride. I layer and veil visual double-entendres to expose the axis of several steps of meaning. Work is logically laid out, like a handle on a door, a door in a room, a room with a person, a person in a home, a house in a culture, a culture in a country, and a country in time. Each artwork is a riddled bread crumb on one of several trails in the broader scope of my work. |
