ARTIST STATEMENT

My goal to is to humanize art and associate it to people in the real world and our primal beginnings. It is the relationship between diety and human that i want to relate. In primitive dieties, beauty was celebrated in the various forms of the body , there was no ideal as there is today. In these drawings filled with nakedness -the genitalia -is just part of the being -the drawings intend to represent the body as a whole, with imperfections yet still beautiful in their content. In the same way that these drawings connect to primative art through their crude lines, the intent is also to evoke vulnerability that exists in the depths of the human psyche. The emotion is first and sexuality becomes secondary as these characters struggle to complete themselves. Thier bodies with no dimension reflect the incomplete, unfulfilled part in all of us that is constantly reaching for comfort and security. Some of the characters seem to be embracing themselves in a futile attempt to protect themselves from their own exposure. The bodies often try to touch each other in a constant yearning for their relationship to be completed much like themselves but somehow the connection never happens. The angst expressed is a reflection of the real life struggle within all of us that keep us in a constant search for someone or something to connect with to complete us. This moment frozen in time, much how the images are, is a struggle to find meaning. In a society obsessed with physical perfection , I find more comfort in the aesthetics of the real world that wherein lies a special kind of objective beauty. These drawings attempt to bring us back to a fundamental outlook of the human body and soul.
