S t a t e m e n t :  R e c e n t   W o r k ,  2 0 0 7 Artist’s Statements often have an air of omniscience about them. Not only does the artist seem to know everything about his work— he gives the impression that he knew all about the work even before it was begun. A statement is really a highly sensitized look backward. Happily (or perhaps conveniently) this way of thinking parallels my way of working: I rarely plan, and almost always fail when I do. Only in retrospect do overarching themes come to light. And so, a few things that I have noticed about my most recent work: Clarity of form and color, on an intimate scale. Stripped down visually, concepts laid bare. Change the category, change the meaning. Perception as a game. Nature filtered through culture. Humor above, disquiet below.
