Response and Interpretation

Abstract

Building and printing are ways of thinking as well as creating. I make artwork inspired by overwhelming personal baggage, and invite strangers to investigate or probe my guts. Once inside, I want the navigator to instigate a sensory reaction from structure, such as movement or sound. I might hope that the viewer will internalize an emotional, visceral response of their own that will be burned into their physiological memory. On issues concerning identity, mental health, memory, cognition, and the physiology that ties it all together, I want my current conceptions to evolve into more aggressive disembowelments.
