In my work, I seek to explore a range of contradictory themes within a given image. Because I am a twin, I have an interest in what manner dualities are revealed. By resurrecting references to the past with what I refer to as my surrealist mind's eye, I juxtapose figurative and abstracted styles; I recall historical images and treat them within a comtempory context. In doing so, I hope to suggest opposing and dual characteristics simultaneously, contrasting through a personal symbolism such themes as:
Realism vs distortion
Delicate vs violent or aggressive drawing styles
Submissive vs assertive natures
And the real vs the anonymous, ephemeral and spiritual
