Over the years, my exploration
of the human figure has moved beyond attempting to capture the physical
presence of the body. The work has evolved into my meditation on the passage
of time, its effects on the body, and the unexpected ways by which an
accumulation of marks can acquire new meanings outside of the experiences
that created them. Part of the power of art is in its potential to bring
out feelings of familiarity and ownership from anyone who views it. This
claim encompasses both the subject and the memories surrounding the subject’s
history. These works are not meant to convey a specific history; they
simply need to be history.
