Primary to my aesthetic is an experimentation with  media. The power of symbols, objects and a vocabulary of human form are the language of this dialogue. Timeless  imagery and modern iconography motivate me to create art that embraces conflict, revision, passion, reason, beauty and discovery.  These interests are synthesized in a body of work that exists as fragments of a culture... symbols, language, the book - as artifacts. A patina of time becomes evident in much of my work, by the use of  recycled classical forms and distressed materials.

 

As a hill walker and traveler, journals and agendas are  a big part of my creative process. Hence, my work seems to catalogue the passing of time and experience, as well as have an inherent mobility. I like to think of it as a mobile museum/library, which I could take on my bicycle, or float down the James River if I wanted to... a message without  the bottle.
