I’ll just say it - I’m an Elder Millennial. Though it can be humbling in particular and funny

moments, it’s an experience that delivers perspective that 100p informs how I create art. It’s from this perspective I see the best of several generations, all in one fell swoop.

 

I see where the history, culture, and nuances of life from the 80s and 90s meets the 2000s; how people and technology have grown and evolved across the century line; why the forever-transforming definition of the word ‘contemporary’ continues to transform. I’ve seen artistic processes and materials declared dead twice in my lifetime - and then return again.

 

More than anything though, it’s experience that allows me to see this - the spark where classical theory meets modern work; where analog meets digital; where handcrafted meets laser cut; bridging the gap between the 20th and 21st centuries.

Whatever the process, material or final product, there are non-negotiables to my approach to creating art. I study and respect theory - and I’m not afraid to flip it on its head to make something new and different; I believe in well-executed craftsmanship and clean precision; I believe in repetition and focus, working until it's right. There’s always honesty and humor; energy and commitment; a serious and curious drive to create high-quality, timeless work that’s a nod to the classical and a contribution to the contemporary.
