Artist Statement
Teaching Philosophy
Expressive language communicates the “Zeitgeist” of our times...different cultural forms...stimulate reflection on this subject...creative approach that appeals directly to the viewer’s imagination..interweave and concentrate images...fictions, like poetry, rely on metaphor and simile ...references, allusions, and analogies...a surreal atmosphere that leads the viewer to another reality—one that may be read only beyond the confines of the photo frame...challenges both the viewer and its creator to consider equally new perspectives and ideas. Process Statement
Recently I have begun to explore the possibilities of the “digital darkroom.” I am fascinated by the computer’s ability to synthesize—to weave disparate materials and into a single continuum. This enables the artist to explore in fresh ways both surrealist and post-modern perspectives. Although my working methods have radically altered, my interests remain the same. The content of my previous work has flowed naturally onto the screen and into the images before you.
