(excerpt)

The larger extent to how I present my artwork is based on existential ideas and the encompassing process associated to art.  I ultimately aim to engage an audience in a status above that of mere viewer and create an experience in which, at times, they can be a participant in the outcome of the artwork, or at the very least, influenced in some way or another.  To do this, I employ two main art vehicles: Painting, which often incorporates text pieces, and performance art, done in the public spectrum or in a gallery setting.

As an artist, I create images that are my responsibility to both document and imitate from my experience, and transform the ideas of art from pure thought to actual visual, and as a result, the final product varies, as does the medium.  My process of creating art starts with the obvious, the idea, and is usually not drawn out in sketches, yet conceived in text and language only, which leads to text art pieces done from stencils, on canvas or paper.  I have also used these text pieces in my performance art pieces, as a means to immediately connect with an audience.

I assume my artwork to be included in the following art categories:  conceptual, performance, painting, text, institutional critique, photography, political, minimalism, appropriation, installation, video, sculpture, other.
