April 2005

There has always been the same underlying core motivation in all of my work, regardless of style or content. That goal is always for self-expression. Whether through internal, personal imagery or external, observed imagery, my goal is to say something personal about my perception and place in this world.

Following my experiences living in NYC, my work has focused on the urban landscape. I became very aware of how we move through these densely populated spaces. Whether simply strolling down the street or partaking in organized festivities, it is our inclination to blend others into the scenery. People lose their identities and individuality and become elements of the architectural backdrop.

I began to create a series of glimpses into this reality. My choice of vivid colour and altered view point reveals the chaos and poetry of the human landscape. The view points are literally from the heart and the gut. They capture our tendency to meld our human counterparts into the landscape viewing them as obstacles as we move through our daily lives. Each “snapshot” focuses our attention on the detail and fluidity that surrounds us.
