Stories take many forms over the course of time and telling. The details battered by retelling time after time, generation upon generation. With this in mind my constellation-like patterns serve as both map and metaphor, hovering in battered layers that suggest the coarse of time and the tellings of a story. Scars upon layers, layers upon those scars. Destruction and reconstruction. Themes remain intact, details allowed to exaggerate. Soon enough interpretations evolve drifting between subjective and objective, and if Time and the Divine allow: Balance.

I found that I am most productive at the tension of structure and randomness.

My intent is to invite the viewer to engage in their own process of meaning-making. A process innate to us all.

My formal education is in graphic design and computer science, but I’ve always been a student of anthropology. There was a time when the published version of “The Power of Myth” served as a bible of sorts for me, and other times when I thought Athena to be my only friend. Obviously that is being a bit hyperbolic, but that is one of the very reasons that I’ve always been drawn toward myth: there’s always a fabric of realness between the lines of exaggeration that makes actual reality a little more bearable in the present.
