About Me

Regarding my Art:.
Sleep, Lenses, Rods, Cones, Concrete, Oil, Film, Dance, Color Theory, Magnetics, Ergonomic Re-Use../
I play with Lenses in Art,
Characters In Scripts, Textures in DeCay, Light in MachineRy, Pil0ts, FEatures, GaLleries, Music, DirT, SymBols, & Righteous Persons. .
Healthy, happy, flawed.
PROCESS
I began my most recent and favorite body of work; "LENSWORK" while living in my studio-- mid-city LA circa 1997.
I am drawn to building materials in their raw and unfinished form: Wood, Glass, Steel, Wax, Rubber, Gypsum.
Thread, Wire, Zippers, Thimbles and more Fragile things lend Lenses to you. Make sense, if you must.
Professionally I work as a Union-affiliated Art Director in Film and Television
and have for 20 years. My creative juggle is balanced on a bridge
between the one I've barely researched and
the one I've almost discovered.
.
The big picture is important to me. (worldView- not Imax...;)
(although I am entirely drawn to anyplace where Art and Science meet....
the Museum of Jurassic Technology is a prime example..*^* among many..)
"Wisdom and Foolishness are practically the same.
Both are indifferent to the opinions of the world". -unknown author
