ARTIST STATEMENT
My goal is to explode the myth of progress, and explore the true character of the human experience, in
the futile hope that we will recognize the forces that shape our trajectory. Our dominant culture is
dedicated to progress and technology, rejecting everything that came before in defiance of the deep
universal truths that shape human experience. We are surrounded by representations of these truths in
the stories we tell and images we create. They form a massive bank of knowledge represented in our
myths, religion, history, philosophy, and psychology. We are drawn to these stories; they entertain us;
but we consistently choose to ignore their value because we must do what we feel rather than what we
know. In pursuit of these ideas, I have used many mediums and approaches, focusing primarily on
sculpture and installation.
