‘Universal Spin’

Artist Statement

Nature and Spirit have been great influences in my art and my life.  Working specifically in the visionary and surrealist genre and employing universal symbols of sacred geometry, in particular the circle and the circle in the square, as key elements in this pursuit.  I have developed a visual language utilizing, predominantly, collage/mixed media; these works might begin with an image that speaks to me, a word or phrase or free flow, similar to automatic writing.  

Sometimes beginning the process with a single image and possibly never using the image in the final piece. I ‘play’ with the image and/or image making till it feels ‘cooked’. From that point forward it grows into the final piece. I use appropriated & hand created images as well as objects and materials, such as handmade papers, etc. The piece speaks to me and I am moved in an intuitive manner.  These works are created on illustration board, Masonite or MDF board. 

I am seeking to touch, deep within the viewers spirit, a truth or essence.

To awaken/nudge/shift the subconscious.

Seduction into another world...A world of vision and dream.
