I am a figurative artist. I mainly work in charcoal because of its versatility, workability, and capacity. I explore the changeability of memory through time. My work is narrative and I often cast my subjects in the context of social, political, historical, and sometimes mythological references.
I enjoy creating “memory maps” (borrowing from the computer tech term) in which the structure of information itself, residing in memory, indicates how memory is laid out. Over time these associative clusters of memories are embellished, rearranged, and perhaps fragmented or dropped; the end result being the innately human subjectivity of our recollections.
