Statement
In capitalist America today, nature is dead. Tamed, clear cut,
paved over, polluted or lost forever by Man's hand. The destructive
nature of how we live today fosters a deep longing for a return
to a time and place where the land was unspoiled. I try to make
something tangible out of that nostalgia by piecing together decorative
and narrative elements with the mood and mystery of old images
to create allegorical pieces dense with associations.
