Biography
Research Statement
Stark light and deep darkness reveal a space between the physical and the spiritual. A space where objects, human forms and shadows cast become surreal, mystically charged metaphors and symbols. Symbols of tragic flaw and Grace. Metaphors for transience and transcendence. My drawings reference and synthesize timeless religious imagery and motifs.
Simultaneously, the work is referencing the use of religious and royal motifs and imagery– used to express self-empowerment and apotheosis -- in popular music (performances, videos, and album art). These displays of power and divinity are mimicked, but have an inverse and antithetical effect, revealing an emptiness and vanity manifested in paper and fleeting shadows…
Nods to Classical self-portraiture are made in my drawings. I am also influenced by the slick, realist draftsmen of the 1980’s and by black and white films and photography. I am inspired by music, philosophy, and theology. Kathe Kollwitz, Robert Longo, David Lynch and Caravaggio are my favorite visual artists.
My drawings are created with charcoal, black pastel, carbon sticks and graphite on
paper.
