artist statement.

I am obsessed with the figure. I am enchanted by the fact that throughout history, in every culture, in every era, we humans have had a strong need to render our own images and to make them fancy. I love this so much. I love that a thousand years ago someone felt the urge to scribble a picture of themselves on the wall of a cave or to carve their face on the handle of a spear. As if to say, Look at me. Here I am. I am alive in the world. 

I am also obsessed with nature. I feel most human when I am away from humanity, out in the woods or deep on a desert hike. With my most recent work, my two obsessions have intersected. I am making connections between human form and natural forms. A tree becomes a person. A person becomes a plant. They become friends.

Now when I look at a Joshua Tree, I see exuberant arms reaching to the sky. When I look at palm trees in Indian Canyon, I see giant shaggy men, dancing in waterfalls. It is the best kind of anthropomorphism.

With my work, I want people to see that being human is to be grounded in the natural world. I want people to remember this connection. I want them to feel the deep spirituality of this relationship and to bask in the joy of it.
