Artist’s Statement
Intentional quirkiness & humor are intrinsic to the imagery of these ‘Beings’. The ‘beings’ are constantly evolutionary while experimenting with everyday concepts. A skull, dead cactus and sometimes beehives are the foundations of the life forms. Interpretation is part of the audience’s freedom to engage with the works and their own imagination.
