A dominating theme of my work of the past few years focuses on illuminating the dialectic of obscuring thingsāwhich sometimes speaks to discomfort or hidingāand emerging thingsāwhich speaks to the process of enlightenment. I find this contradictory struggle an intriguing exploration for both individual and societal conflict.Ā As each work matures, socio-political shifts in the larger world, and our inability to know what will come of them, influence the visual ambiguity. As in all dynamic work experiences, the process of creating takes on a life of its own which in turn means different things to different people.Ā I welcome the advancement.
