Artist Statement
My work explores the relationship between Jungian archetypes and romance tourism. With influences as diverse as Nietzsche and L Ron Hubbard, new combinations are crafted from both mundane and transcendent structures. Ever since I was a teenager I have been fascinated by the essential unreality of the universe. What starts out as hope soon becomes corrupted into a hegemony of futility, leaving only a sense of what could have been and the prospect of a new reality. As temporal replicas become clarified through studious and academic practice, the viewer is left with a clue to the edges of our condition.
