PERFORMANCE
Art is a process of dying to the constraints our culture has engendered, the societal masks we bear and embracing the child within. The canvas or setting is not “precious,” but a living, breathing work of art, waiting to be unleashed and a large part of my process is a constant play with the material I am privileged to access, from my own body, fire and found objects, to oil paint, chalk pastel, organic matter and cloth. My job is to allow a given piece to become what it is meant to be, regardless of intent or my own need to control. In sense, every work of art is a revelation of the true self for the benefit of the viewer who chooses to engage with a given piece.
