“My artwork is certainly grounded in my fascination with the real world. I’ve been drawing and painting from the figure since high school. “Handscapes: Talking with My Hands” is a new series of blind contour drawings that grew out of that practice. Another series is called “Food and Technology”. With these drawings and paintings, I hope to surprise the viewer by placing traditional still life objects, such as an ear of corn, with various unexpected pieces of technology, like a computer cord. I suppose I’m also trying to come to terms with my own discomfort with the new technology by intertwining these dichotomous objects. Perhaps I’m trying to turn things upside down to encourage us to take a new look at what is around us.”
