"Current research states the average person
has approximately 60,000 thoughts a day."
- Dr. Deepak Chopra
I am mesmerized by
this phenomenon of the Information Age and because of it,
my creative mind is in constant free-fall. I'm haunted by bits and pieces
of everything I see, hear or read, remember or imagine, and watch on
YouTube; my thoughts swim among events that have occurred, will or
might happen- memories- factual, fractured and concocted- hopes,
dreams, fears- Oprah and GaGa.
My body of work reflects modern-day sensory
overload; producing collective objects inspired by
the volatile psychological rollercoaster that we ride every single
moment- pictures and things stolen at random from the eclectic motion
of our perpetual mental processes- Celebrity. Sex. Being at the
beach. Genetic-engineering. Life after death. Scenes from movies.
Childhood recollections. Fairy tales. It's like a never-ending slideshow of
lucid images and frenetic visions– contemplating curious
considerations and then, paralleling our fluid, cerebral behavior, my
attention flows off to something else.
Viewed as a whole, my approach and rendering emphasize the unifying stream of consciousness
winding its way through all my work. Just as seemingly
arbitrary observations ultimately reveal their cohesive
logic, the intrigued viewer is able to piece together the visual
enigmas and identify the tangibility- a voyeuristic peek at the
visual diary of a madman who is not mad, at the beginning of the 21st Century.
