          I have always been fascinated in the moment when two things meet and bleed into each other. 

I'm interested in transcendence formed by: weaving, the intersection and the blurring of borders.  Much of the work is focused around the relation between states of: waking, sleeping and dreaming. My work often hangs on these in-betweens, where dark bleeds into light, abstract becomes form, and particles come together in waves.

The current work is about Color Chemistry, Flow, Rhythm, Landscape, Dance, Music, and Touch(both emotional and physical). The work is meant to create a long gaze slowly revealing itself in you. It is Slow-gaze art. The work at times is also heavily fused with environmental concerns, lying below the surface of beauty.

"The first thing is to be quiet. I drop my agenda or expectations, and listen. Then, I soften my gaze. The eyes are agressive, and once you realize they are out there hunting, you can learn to tune them down, and let what is out there come to you. The body knows things way before the brain does... Art is primarily about the development of consciousness, not the development of an object. The object is just a catalyst."
