In
my work I examine an ambiguous and often fragmented world, an
ominously spare one in which power and powerlessness collide
and social and sexual roles shift endlessly, uneasily as we
struggle to find purpose and meaning. Engaging the viewer has
been paramount in all my efforts as we share a world of fear
and hope.
I draw from ordinary, popular
sources (comic books, film noir, the daily papers) which so
mirror the flux of life that spins us into conflict with each
other and where so much is uncertain and enigmatic.
To reinforce this sense of alienation,
I catch my figures (sometimes alone, sometimes attracted, repelled)
in the stop action of a single frame of film, using strong emotional
color to emphasize the tenuous in life.
Always
connected, my work evolves from piece to piece and body to body,
developing a coherency of thought and imagery, a realm in which
to examine human sexuality and power and relates present work
to earlier efforts but points to the future as well.
