Artist Statement

Art is a devotional practice; a deepening of inner and outer images. Symbols are physical realities as well as psychological ones. When used ritually, the intention imbued within these talismanic images spills over into the mundane world and acts portal to the divine. What I’m trying to do is evoke a visceral response in myself through the work. A sensation that happens in the gut. In the bones. In the blood.
