AMERICAN ZEITGEIST
ARTIST'S STATEMENT
I strive to make relevant, memorable
American images that make people think. I focus on finding the extraordinary
in ordinary American life. I am interested in reflecting the mood and
feeling of our era.
These compositions combine two
or more images into a single artwork. I combine images because I want
enough information to engage the viewer in looking for connections between
images, and to incite the viewer to search their own past and to think
about common images in a different way. I strive for ambiguity to increase
the number of viewer interpretations.
When one thinks about what appeals
to Americans today in movies, politics, celebrities, food, etc., people
seem to want to be attracted to - and repelled by images at the same time.
My sometimes voyeuristic, broken-narrative compositions reflect America's
channel-changing attention span and state of mind.
