I am creating a body of dimensional assemblages that merge my passion for material objects with concepts that my Illustration and Photography cannot fully express. They refer to the classical ages of invention, exploration and scientific discovery, as well as the surreal world of my subconcious dreamstates and of personal history itself.
In my imagination, ART, SCIENCE and TIME are Siamese triplets who although connected to each other, have individual thoughts and voices. I am interested in shrines, cultural or shamanic fetishes and unique personal Gods. With these works, I invite each viewer to peer into my expanding world of (un)natural history, imaginary devices, passages of frozen time and eclectic personal fascinations.
Each work is painstakingly constructed from an unusual array of materials some plucked from my personal collections and others specifically sought out from around the world. Many of the elements are rare or of valuable antiquity. The ideas behind these constructions are derived from daydreams I've recorded over the years, from my drawings and from the very objects themselves. If it's true that old objects carry history within them, then it is my hope to reveal that in a new and creative way.
Although I have sold or gifted away my previous constructions, I am building the new assemblages for collectors and for gallery representation. Commissions are welcome.
I will add more works to this site as I can. Although I cannot display the artworks accurately in this limited medium, I hope you'll enjoy what you see, and will use your imagination to envision them in their physical and dimensional reality.
