*Artist's Statement*
"A flock of sheep near the airport
or a high voltage generator beside the orchard:
these combinations open up my life like a wound, but they also heal it.
That's why my feelings always come in twos."
Yehuda Amichai, poet, translated by Chana Block & Stephen Mitchell
Unresolved issues continue to confront humankind. The ethical compass is not fixed but fluctuates due to society’s understanding or misinterpretation of information. Knowledge evolves; truth is unreliable; dichotomies persevere. Perspectives fluctuate due to media presentation, politics, race, economics, religion, culture, location, age, gender, and one’s life as it is lived through time and experience.
My art has examined media’s use of language and the power of words, our continued colonialism and obsessive consumerist activities, persistent discrimination and economic disparities, the amalgamation of superficially discordant cultural images, regulations based on fiction resulting from society’s deficient knowledge of science, devastation of the environment due to ecological gluttony, paternalistic protection regarding the realities of war, and intellect’s wisdom in opposition with romanticism.
We share the cyclical nature of human experience and memory -- the emotional and the intellectual to provide a poetically whole expression of human life. Dualities persist. Austerity and excess, minimalism and obsession, reason and passion, renaissance and baroque, physicality and consciousness interconnect to create the mysterious enigmatic equilibrium of existence.
