My subconscious mind is what I aim to let out in the appearance of my work. Every line every color choice every angle I choose I try and let it just happen. I am fully aware that I am obsessed with geometric shapes and it shows in almost every piece I do.
It is my subject matter that I take a great deal of thought to develop. There is a connection between our dreams, subconscious, conscious, “reality”, being what we can physically touch and see and reality what we see when time effects our vision. The first time you see a chair is the only time it will look like that. You will always see that chair in another view and no matter how hard you attempt to view it as the same, it will not be. This is the same with anything in life including “non-real” objects like those within a dream.
When I begin my dream paintings, I do not look forward to this one image in my mind being the end result because I look forward to that image changing everyday and sometimes every time I close and open my eyes. We are not completely in control of anything in the world. I can keep control of my brush stroke or pastel marks but I cannot control the reaction the mark or the color will have on the viewer.
My work is increasingly growing in size and will soon be violating physical space. The visions I have my work is that of a space that intrudes on your mind. Pieces that are no longer art pieces but places that you are involved with and interact with.
Cling-wrap and light bulbs are a continuing subject in my work. The cling-wrap helps me represent how much human beings can be broken down physically and their features become similar. Wrapping the cling-wrap around a nude figure it smashes our distinct facial features into these recognizable objects and leaving similar characteristics in each of us. The light bulbs react to this covering of flesh and pop the features back out. It becomes this fight for sudtleness and bold flashy distinct objects.
