Stay
up too late, you can sleep when you’re dead.
See the egg, smell the
bacon and devour life.
My work is a conversation
that asks: What treasures have escaped you in your hurry to the next
best thing? Have you seen the beauty around you? Have you thought to
appreciate the efforts of your ancestors?
By exploring the powerful
symbols, aphorisms and folklore that our culture provides, and by using
the cast-off remnants of that culture, I challenge the viewer to partake
more fully of life and to see beauty, effort and human achievement where
they least expect it.
In the end, each piece
becomes a cycle of wisdom reinterpreted, refuse rediscovered, and
history modernized. Take the time to look deeply.
