Artist Statement 
My body of work has emerged from an expanding interest in how memory works.  This theme is still at the heart of what I do, though the idea has shifted.  Currently I find myself less concerned with my own memories, in and of themselves.  Instead, I find myself fascinated with how my personal experiences fit into the overall American pop-culture of which I am a product.  In these current works I draw from the aesthetic pools of both the contemporary pop culture as well as the tradition of American abstract painting.  Using these two divergent styles I create swirling vortexes of information in which one must struggle to resolve the subject through the exploding pieces of it.
