Recent works can be most easily described as coming to terms with an American existence. They are saturated with imagery and iconography that strikes me as I drive through the streets and highways of San Diego. I gather images from different characters who unwittingly lend me their poses and mannerisms and are then juxtaposed against an idyllic/ironic/whimsical setting. I enjoy infusing my work with ideology that may feel confusing at first but will hopefully prompt different reactions and assumptions depending on who is seeing the art and what they have seen or done. In other words I want my art to be an interactive experience.
