Artist Statement

This Bay Area based artist explores a variety of social and environmental questions and concepts through painting, drawing, print making, installation, performance, and sound work. His exhibitions create visual, aural, tactile, and conceptual environments that are equivalent to walking inside of a giant graphic novel.  He is deconstructing the traditional idea of the graphic novel and narrative and re assembling it into an interactive, multi faceted environment.  Inside, one experiences a future wherein humans are no longer the dominant species, and humanity’s creations have evolved into their own harbingers of destruction and consumption.  The work evokes and communicates a sense of gratitude for life, living, and the promise of today in the face of forces beyond the control of its subjects, while exploring their own personal narratives through a multitude of media.  Within this architecture the work addresses present day connections and interactions allowing him a moment of reflection away from the chaos and hyper-speed of the everyday that surrounds to create and give praise through his own art making.
