EXPRESSIONS OF ART ARE THE DREAMS OF SOCIETY. THEY SHOW US HOW THINGS COULD BE, HOW THEY ARE, WHAT WE WANT, AND WHAT WE FEAR THROUGH NOVEL AND HONEST ABSTRACTIONS. AS AN ARTIST, YOU WORK AS A PIECE OF THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND IN OUR COLLECTIVE HUMAN BODY; OFTEN BEING SUPPRESSED OR DISCOUNTED TO IGNORE REALITY OR SIMPLY BY LACKING PRIORITY OVER THE HUMAN BODY’S NEVER ENDING PURSUIT OF FOOD, STABILITY, AND PROCREATION. BUT IN THOSE SMALL MOMENTS OF REST, WHEN THE WORK IS DONE AND THE BODY SLEEPS, BRIEFLY FREE FROM THE NEEDS OF THE FLESH, ART WILL BE THERE AS A DREAM, REMINDING US OF WHAT WE MISSED.

PRIVATE ARCHIVE & CATALOG: THE ARCHIVE CONSISTS OF 135MM FILM NEGATIVES, PREFERABLY WITHOUT DIGITAL COPIES. SOME FILM NEGATIVES ARE DIGITIZED.

PERSPECTIVE & SIGNIFICANCE: I LOOK ON PHYSICAL AND METAPHORICAL ASPECTS OF LIFE, EMPHASIZING THEIR INTRINSIC ATTRACTION. MY INSIGHT: PHOTOGRAPHS IN BOOKS FOR LASTING APPEARANCE AND A SENSORY EXPERIENCE AWAY FROM THE DIGITAL WORLD. IN A PIXEL-DRIVEN ERA, IT IS CRITICAL TO PRESERVE THE TACTILE IMPACT AND EMOTIONAL RESONANCE OF TANGIBLE CREATIONS. IT HELPS US TO RECOLLECT MEMORIES. MOTION IS ONLY WITH LIFE TO FILL.
