I’m a painter & sculptor that works in a variety of mediums. I often work with venetian plaster, acrylic paints and drawing tools, sometimes I make a sculptural board to paint on. Collage is often found in my work where I may cut up a previous piece and use it in a new one. I will seek out the architecture of objects that exists, in a subtle way, just below the surface of normal reality. The exploration of everyday objects as living things imbued with an energy of their own holds a fascination for me. There is also a narrative theme and a historical connection between man and myth that interests me. I study the symbolic forms this relationship has produced, whereas the unknown is brought into a relationship with the “known”. My earlier work would explore ancient written languages and the architecture of early shelter forms. The Cascajal Text, earliest written language found in the Americas, holds a special fascination for me.
