“My art should be as malleable as the world we live in.  It should not be stagnant.
It should possess life and inspire the looker to give and take life from it.”

  “MEMORANDUM”

MEMORANDUM is a collection of ink and charcoal paintings which bring back to life over a dozen photo negatives from early 1900’s America. The photo negatives tell a relatable story with room to breathe. The ink and charcoal bring the story to life with chaotic brushwork… layering a depth which intrigues the imagination throughout these vast landscapes of the past. “From then to now… so the story goes.”

” And then all of a sudden, there it was, clear as day. existence had finally unveiled itself. It had lost the harmless look of an abstract category…

The diversity of things, their individuality, were only an appearance a veneer. This veneer had melted, leaving soft monstrous masses, all in disorder-naked, in a frightful obscene nakedness.” -Sartre “Nausea”
