Most
of the artwork I have executed over the last two years has been
primarily concerned with the interplay between the natural world
and the manufactured one. I paint surrealistic imagery that involves
the combination of natural elements with those that are man made.
When conceptualizing a painting, I look for meaningful visual marriages
that illustrate critical connections between biological and manufactured
systems.
I hope my juxtapositions will present to you an alternative perspective
for the way our industrialization should affect the natural world.
Plant the idea that our technological systems can function within
the boundaries of what our natural resources can sustain. We do
not have to live in a world where industry and progress are set
in opposition to the overall health of our planet. Instead I visually
propose a more symbiotic relationship. A relationship where the
division between fabricated and natural systems has been blended
into one functioning whole for the benefit of all.
