Artwork Description
Description
Collection Statement
I think I have been slowly realising it for years. But it’s only been recently that I have begun to realise the extent of it.
What do you mean?
I recently begun to understand the extent to which repression defines me. I am enraged by it. It feels like much of what I call “myself”, is a constructed person, limited and restrained in countless ways that make me better suited for work. Better suited for parenthood. Better suited for marriage.
Aren’t those things you want?
Yes. [...]
wild beast,
your soul an empty landscape, without words
words impose on the soul
and determine its choices
wild beasts roam the land
hunting; gathering; not one, without freedom
The wind and water brushing off their footprints
the darkness you have fought Promethea;
bringing light
your guts eaten by wild beasts on the cross
in the beginning there was light
before light; a beast
before the beginning
so perfect was the beast
in the darkness

My goal is to help Artists around the world share more of their work within their communities and globally, culturally enrich their neighborhoods, and create a new local economy for artists to thrive in.

Followed a band of musicians on 2 filming tours up and down the Mississippi, interviewing musicians, historians, and librarians of the blues, playing gigs, and learning about the African American culture that gave birth to the blues and American music. A short documentary from the footage was presented in theatres in Seattle.

Artist Statement
The purpose of my art practice is to reflect on what I am subconsciously creating and understand something about my experience. Sharing art is also a way of expanding that experience, and creating community. I use the visual artwork I create, as a mirror to my subconscious. I create images, and then look through them, waiting for something to talk to me, an idea to spark, an emotion to emerge. When it does, I meditate on it. Sometimes I discover overwhelming emotions that have never been explained before. Other times it takes hundreds of images, for a pattern to emerge.
