I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to my most recent creations. The materials I have chosen to use serve my purpose because of the blatant and emotionally charged response they evoke. These mediums already have a strong mental imagery that is attached to them. Around the world they are still used to either help build dreams or destroy the dreamers. My hope is that you will feel the agony and then see the miracles that can arise from choosing to create rather than destroy.
It is my belief that most of mans' loftiest pioneering endeavors are hard to manifest and the surface of my art is as hard as the subject matter. I feel it is fitting that I have used the heat of a torch to bring about the shadows of lines and furrows seen in the faces at hand.
The heat and light of the torch reminded me of purifing strength that is forged by fire while simultaneously illuminating altruistic philosophies and new concepts. The individual's I have chosen are a testimony to the fact that man's loftiest endeavors are often brought about at a cost that is high.
