At a certain point in college, I struggled to pin down a subject matter that felt right. The usual genres, like figure, landscape or non-objective, began to feel forced. Instead of planning a composition to meet an assignment’s requirements, I simply began applying thin layers of paint and bring forth the forms that appear before me in the shapes and textures of the paint. . During the process of prepping a surface for painting, applying an underpainting or thin layer of color across the overall surface, I find forms that intrigue me.

This was the birth of the womb dimension.

In Infinite Realms I explore the hypothetical possibilities of this universe as they occur to me in dreams, fantasies, and through the process of applying media to a surface. It can be anything, it can be anywhere; it comes from anything and it comes forth anywhere. Often it is organs in a fecund space suspended by arteries, sometimes containing bodies, or entities breaking through from some other dimension.

Those intimate spaces, and vaguely anatomical forms, inspired the Anatomie series.

Anatomie is deeply personal, as it deals with metaphors for my personal experience of events in my life. I continue to produce works in both the Anatomie and Infinite Realms series.
