Artist Statement: In the art world today it is very common for artists to issue long statements of purpose. Often the words carry more weight than the art. Personally, I don't trust all this verbiage. I want to make art that is very pure, that requires no explanation, art that is what it is. In particular, I enjoy trying to create art that has no obvious antecedents. For me the ideal is that the art is like a flower--it just blossoms into existence and needs no further commentary.
Recently, I'm working on a series called Small Universes. These are small, mixed media paintings/constructions that try to measure up to this statement. (Several are shown here; more can be seen on my site ArtNorfolk.com.)
