My work blends figurative and abstract elements, in two- and three-dimensional form, often combined with found objects. I use a wide range of media, including pencil and charcoal drawing, metallic and acrylic paint, photography, collage and assemblage.

I am interested in creating visual paradoxes and surprises, not as ends in themselves, but to expose the ambiguity of what we perceive as real, objective and true. Not coincidentally, my favorite color is grey and I never tire of exploring the many shades it comes in.

I enjoy making art from ordinary things and materials, end animating them through light and shadow. In my assemblage work, I attempt to create an interactive viewing experience, through the use of mirrors and kinetic elements.

My objective is to create images that engage the imagination and invite speculation. I want viewers to inject their own thoughts and feelings into the work, rather than passively register what's there.

My influences include film, the artistry of the Dada masters (especially Kurt Schwitters), and photography (Man Ray, Aaron Siskind, William Eggleston). And of course Joseph Cornell.
