Art is a form of communication which stands by itself. When asked to explain my work, I feel like I am translating my English to English and I am a little lost. In a restaurant if the waiter explains that the wine has notes of chocolate and tobacco and finishes with a burst of citrus, I do not want to drink it. I do not need an explanation, the experience of drinking the wine tells me enough. In the same sort of way, I want my work to explain itself. I believe that all good art comes from a place of honesty without pretention or over intellectualizing. That is what I strive to achieve. To me the question is the important part, not the answer.

The opening reception is January 27 from 3-5PM.
