I try to achieve emotional balance in the art making process. In some way or another, each piece is closely related to my conscience through content, technique, and/or composition. As I explore the relationship between the mind, hand, emotion, and medium, I continue to develop my own recognizable style. I work to reveal the guise of my emotions across all mediums, as my artwork reflects the sometimes unresolved nature of thought. (Also see "Older Posts")

5: Cement –September 2011; digital photograph
I was walking around Minneapolis in mid fall. The foot and bicycle prints seemed to be accidental. It made me think about how many people use the sidewalk and are absent to all future users, as they slowly vanish with each new step. But, on some particular day, these prints were recorded permanently into the wet cement and are now visible to all future sidewalk users. It allows each individual who passes to invisibly meet these two strangers with a semi-interaction.
