Artist statement:
According to Thorton Wilder, "whenever you get near the human race, there's just layers and layers of nonsense."
Through these three media, I have attempted to peel away the "nonsense" and unearth some of the truth:
we share layers of common experience.
Paintings: Through the layers of textures, the distressing of surfaces and the symbols which emerge and recede, the
paintings reference ancient cultures. We place ourselves into the context of history and question our role.
Scuptures: Cast silicone enttraps writings and artifacts that chronicle turning points in personal histories. We supply the
connections between these objects and stories.
Mirrors: The mirros reveal the identity of particular subjects who described themselves in six words or phrases.
As we see our reflections in the mirror with these words superimposed, do we judge or empathize with our subjects?
