ARTIST STATEMENT I am innately drawn to the expressive approach of deriving and releasing creativity from an unconscious state of mind. Somewhere in the sanctuary of my being, symbolic messages are driven with fervor of a hunter, attempting to define and capture the voice, to bring it to light. The abstractions are intuitive, spontaneous and deliberate messages. They necessitate a vital action to release, bridge and balance spontaneity and tension and the pursuit of aesthetic value. In some instances, ceaseless and recurring messages, forms and symbols rise, conveying dissatisfaction with the finality of only one image as the interpretation of the unconscious voice. Obsessive re-interpretation and compounded tension promotes observant consideration for understanding, relevance and internal harmony. When freedom appears to be compromised and restricted by the boundaries of the standard picture plane, the forms require more space to breathe, wander, spill, drip, pour, stretch and reach out into another plane, dictating the need to be free yet integral, with a life outside the box.
