Artist Statement

As an artist, I use art as filter – a series of creative steps that I take in exploring the world that I live in and the constant motion taking place in it. The distortion of narrative images plays a large role in my two dimensional work. These distorted representations of personal experiences bring to life the ever-changing energy that composes everything and everyone. Recently, my works have been predominately charcoal or pastel based two-dimensional pieces in which I manipulate the drawing surface and utilize mark making to investigate the changes in the world mentioned above. My goal as artists is to represent and absorb the world in which I live in and share with others my interpretation of it through the creation of art. To me, art is life and life is art – and they work together in telling a story that has no beginning or end and a sense of timelessness is set into place when creating it.

ev er y th ing is pt.II

this was a free lace project i made just for fun. the music track was composed and preformed by myself and alexandra peter in the fall of 2009. the follow up to "ev er y th in g is." this is a representation of time and space. it plays with the idea of substance and the lack there of in this world and in the way that we define things. everything comes from nothing... but everything also comes from something... something comes from nothing... and nothing comes from something. without something there cannot be nothing...without nothing, there cannot be something. the two feed off one another.

so in conclusion...

EVERYTHING IS!
