I make artworks in metallic and fluorescent acrylics and industrial plastics because it’s fun to have people realize I am playing with them and then want it to continue, and these are the best tools to those ends. What magician doesn’t want a willing, incredulous audience and a stage conducive to transformation? Along the way, I take mostly disregarded industrial materials and elevate them into works which demand attention on their own terms. The goal is the substantiation of imagination: fooling the eye into seeing things it never imagined could exist, and then going beyond to ask for willing participation in a different way of seeing the world around us, externally and internally.
