The Provocative Image

I like to coax people into participation in conversation. I try to create images that encourage the viewer to bring their own experience into the dialogue. "Real" Art is about ideas. Ideas resist stasis and mutate with the times and the human condition.

The basis for all human thought and ideas is humanity itself. The figure, the human form, the "body" is therefore the vessel of creation and progenitor of all ideas. The body is always present in some form, no matter how abstract, in all works of "Art".

To celebrate life, its diversity, its eternaty, and to honor the tumult and integration of the body, the mind, and the spirit, into experience, is my goal in life, in art, in teaching.
