Artist statement

The work that I produce is largely situated within an evolving folklore. The components of visual iconography, pictorial representation, and symbology help inform communal allegory. My approach is one of inquiry into the common threads of parables and fables within culturally specific narratives. These localized perspectives yield unique ritual, dogma, and ethos within communities and tell the story of their collective experience. Through painting, video and multi-media installations, I collect, process, and make work around these ideas.
