These works, which are in a sense mind factory mutations, are greatly affected by on how I feel to create them. Much of the imagery is derived from my travels and the connections I make with something unusual. I build these pieces by overlapping outlines, strings, shapes, textures and motifs specific to particular subject then breaking and distorting them to create new forms. My processes of drawing, erasing, leaving marks, glazing, adding textures and layering images are conspicuous in the work. Moreover, I do not underestimate the power and sensuality of color and the way visual opulence can connect the viewer to the works emotional base. I strive to engage both the intellect and the emotional circuits--a reaction of the nervous system, perhaps, is what I am striving for in the midst of creating these imagined worlds.
