Artist's Statement
Surrounded by the spectacle of our great success as a species, my work is a comment on where we find ourselves today. If you consider nature to be the part of the world unchanged by man, then nature is at an end. We have is a constructed world, often transformed into a kind of ruin. My work attempts to understand the hubris, greed, and ignorance of so many of my fellow citizens concerning the history and mechanics of our planet—many of whom believe global climate change is a fabrication and that humans saddled up dinosaurs. I draw and paint buildings ruined before they’re completed, tables and sculptures I’ve made of discarded steel and salvaged wood. I make pictures from fragments of the natural world; fire, water and biology; photographs of my own history and travels. Often I include images of religious icons, monuments, and steel skeletons. I’m interested in slow rust and fast fire.
