Over thousands of years, the human condition has remained relatively static while the conditions humanity is exposed to have remained dynamic. As an artist, I’m particularly interested in what these evolving conditions amplify or mask in us. Because I observe the human condition, I feel I must use the tools of the day. I want to understand what those tools reveal about us as individuals and as a society. Art can find a home on different surfaces and take shape through different methods. My aim is to focus on the message while leaving the option of the medium open so that the work can accurately reflect the velocity at which the world is changing and how we as humans respond.
