We wanted to be safe and nullify the decree

Infinite Flux:
My work is an experiment with an organic changing alchemical story of devotion. I try to transcend the present, to 'see' what the painting process suggests. Each of my recent paintings is an elaborate imagined studio setting featuring an assortments of images culled from a variety of media and art works, photographs, sculptures, internet and the imagination and deliberately mingling high-brow and low-brow tastes. The images reflect a state of flux in our information age, the fragmentation of society, cultures, thoughts, and the way personal identity is connected to universality and is simultaneously fragmented by continual evolvement. I try to imagine a connecting spirituality that might explain what is happening and what would happen if our reality were suddenly to reveal this component.

According to science, philosophy and transcendent texts the past, present and future exist simultaneously as infinity and reality is a continual flow of change. The works are a hybrid of contradictions based on current events, philosophy, history, and mystical texts. Reflecting upon issues of our age of convergence and globalization I weave my direct experience with the human and environmental tapestry of seemingly isolated events into a larger contextual tale. Integrating the symphonic chaos we negotiate daily with world events the focus of simultaneity anchors my work and I explore its possibilities as the catalyst for abstracting and inventing realities, colliding, fusing and juxtaposing various art movements and personal expressions.

Investigating the intersection between personal history & politics, destruction & renewal, corruption & beauty the images are filtered through the lens of modern life casting a glance at a future that wavers between utopia and dystopia. My work questions the intrinsic meaning of being human, birth and decay, the fragility of the human condition and the ambiguous relationship between “illusion” and what we call “truth.
