Humorous Surrealism”
describes the absurd birds and monsters that populate the bulk of my work.
Acrylic paints are my favorite medium, probably because they dry fast and are
really versatile and compatible so I can just keep working without the
disruption of technical steps. Acrylic mediums make great adhesives for collage
and even sculpture. When making 3D pieces I start with recycled materials for
the armature and build on it with whatever is around, all usually held together
with strips of cloth impregnated with acrylic medium. Drawing is an art form as
well as a means to work out ideas for paintings and sculptures. I love the
spontaneity of quick, mindless doodles, and do lots of them. If I have to sit
somewhere for a long time like a waiting room or on a bus, I often sketch to
entertain myself. Being in touch with fleeting subconscious thoughts seems to
require solitude and quiet, for me, so I love working alone and don’t usually even
listen to music. If something interrupts me it feels like the proverbial needle
being dragged across a vinyl record. Usually, I just start to paint, sculpt, or
draw and go where it leads me. Even work that's initially planned takes on a
life of its own. Meanings may emerge later, even for me, in unplanned pieces.
People sometimes come up with interpretations of their own, which is really
interesting.
