My interest in how nature and human nature share a conscious state is the pervasive element in my art. This relationship is largely dictated by the judgment that drives our actions and the resulting dialogue nature attempts to have with us. The evolution of this relationship always creates a certain harmony and conflict in the artwork.

I use a basic singular pattern form or building block, to set the direction of conversation within a work of art. The art’s outcome will be determined greatly by how the building block relates to itself within the set restrictions of a particular shape, material and/or space. The evolution and growth of the art can develop into a seemingly purposeful design or an attempt to find an aesthetic in chaos, created by the given materials and processes. The building blocks and forms are comprised of man-made materials used to create this synthetic evolutionary cycle of poorly simulating nature. Many of the materials, themselves, are produced from natural resources and shaped into manufactured objects. In turn, I use these man-made objects to reconstitute them back into some obscure memory of a natural form.

The art attempts to reintroduce the natural and man made into some idea of reconciliation. However, save a few eloquent anomalies, the art tends to reveal an awkward, forced relationship of homogenized oppositions that in themselves have a certain innate beauty and peculiarity. The art’s repetitive processes and forms, and the expended energy in creating these art forms, often parallels the ingenuity and time spent on the absurd outcomes propagated by our conflict within ourselves and with nature. My inspiration from our continued shortcomings in structuring our existence outside, or in opposition to, our own human nature and environment, results in the physical forms of my art. Our disconnect between the our subconscious, and waking state, and the consciousness of nature, generates the endless art forms in my search to autonomously understand the fractured state within us, and with nature.
