Words have agendas all their own. Even among friends and allies, what we hear is not exactly what was intended. We need to short-circuit these defective linguistic processes and transform an experience entirely: to be grokked wholly, honestly, instantly, and precisely.
As the basis for conveying these experiences, I rely on memories. I am interested in those memories that haunt us, which lurk and skulk in the periphery of our imaginations deep within our subconscious. There is a universality in such a practice, as well as a healing.
In creating my pieces, I am interested as much in the technical process as I am in the narrative result. I'm particularly fascinated to discover how I can achieve a gestalt in a piece given that I'm focusing so intently on the inputs: the media, the substrate, and the interaction between the two. Such a duality is an endless source of fascination.
