Over the years, my exploration of the human figure has moved beyond attempting to capture the physical presence of the body. The work has evolved into my meditation on the passage of time, its effects on the body, and the unexpected ways by which an accumulation of marks can acquire new meanings outside of the experiences that created them. Part of the power of art is in its potential to bring out feelings of familiarity and ownership from anyone who views it. This claim encompasses both the subject and the memories surrounding the subject’s history. These works are not meant to convey a specific history; they simply need to be history.
