BUILDING SKATEBOARD RAMPS, PIECING TOGETHER BMX BIKES, MAKING THE MOST OUT OF A ROOM SHARED WITH YOUR OLDER BROTHER, COUCHES IN CLOSETS,DRAWING ON THE BACK OF YOUR MOTHER’S HOMEWORK & MAKING GIFTS WHEN YOU CAN’T BUY THEM...DESIGN AND REDISIGN. THIS IS WHO I AM. I COULD NOT ESCAPE CONSTANT THOUGHTS OF MAKING MY OWN, INSERT OBJECT HERE, SO I HAVE EMBRACED IT. I BELIEVE I WAS DESIGNED TO DESIGN, TO COMMUNICATE MY CULTURE, MY LIFE, THROUGH ARTISTIC & FUNCTIONAL OBJECTS & INTERIOR SPACES. I BELIEVE YOU CAN LEARN TO DO ANYTHING, BUT IT IS THE FORCE BEHIND YOUR URGE TO LEARN SOMETHING THAT MATTERS, IT IS INNATE. I STRIVE TO SURROUND MYSELF WITH CREATIVES THAT UNDERSTAND MY DRIVE, MY HISTORY & MY HEART. FINDING MINDS THAT WORK TOGETHER TO ENCOURAGE & INSPIRE EACH OTHER TO PUSH THEIR PERSONAL BOUNDARIES, SUBSCRIBING TO STYLE, LETTING TRENDS & FADS COME & GO AS THEY PLEASE. THROUGH MY DESIGN I HOPE TO SHOW THE PUBLIC THAT SUSTAINABILITY STARTS WITH DESIGN & ENDS WITH THE CONSUMER’S KNOWLEDGE OF WHICH PRODUCTS AND LIVING CHOICES WILL BEST SUIT THE HEALTH OF THIS PLANET AS WELL AS THEIR OWN WELL BEING. IN MY DESIGN I WILL AVOID THE MATERIALISTIC & WASTEFUL NATURE OF THE INDUSTRY SEARCHING FOR THE SOUL OF DESIGN, THE NECESSITY OF QUALITY.

Was out for a walk today and saw the wall of statements posters were up already. Officially opens on Tuesday. You'd defiantly need to go and have a look at them in person.
Note-Grids are a tool for collecting and connecting objects of thought (in this case, words).
They treat words and other manifestations of thought as objects that can be freely manipulated to create new meaning.
They break meaning up into individual words to facilitate a more fluid, intuitive, and improvisational approach to knowledge production.

Unter der Einflugschneise zum Flughafen Genf-Cointrin, auf dem Lac Léman, prangte am 16.6.2021 ein riesiges Banner auf der Wasseroberfläche. Während des Anflugs konnte der russische Präsident die Worte «PEACE AND SECURITY THROUGH DISARMAMENT» («Frieden und Sicherheit durch Abrüstung») lesen. Die Botschaft soll die russischen und amerikanischen Machthaber daran erinnern, dass die Welt sich nicht sicher fühlt, wenn zwei verfeindete Grossmächte mehr als 10'000 einsatzbereite Atomsprengköpfe in ihren Arsenalen führen.

I decided to go for a bold look when I made this pendant. Red, black, and white are definitely show stoppers.
Art should encompass an exploration of the human condition; that is, what it is to be human.
My desire as an artist is not to over or underestimate the value of art to communicate the soul’s most inward anxieties and exhilarations. For me, the ephemeral highs and lows of life are all part of a complex plan to reconcile the polarity of good and evil. The existential paradoxes that exist between life and death are a never-ending enigma that has captured the imagination of many artists, philosophers and academics since the dawn of man. It is from a faith-trust perspective that I attempt to experience the otherness of life and through reasoned emotions try and comprehend the simulacrum of human culture and essence of being. What epitomizes my journey as an artist is the attempt to communicate the human soul in exile and its final hope of redemption.
At heart, I am an expressionist who is not satisfied or fulfilled in rendering the world of nature objectively or realistically. However, I do believe intellect and imagination must intersect to cause ignition for making provocative art.
I embrace a Christian worldview as my basis for understanding the complexity of the human condition allowing me to accept the dichotomy between spiritual and physical reality. This parallel “spirit” veiled reality, I believe, runs counterpart to everything we can experience through our five senses. And the grace gifts of imagination, personality and will, allows me on a soul level to create, critique and communicate the modalities of experience. I believe we live in shadow, half seeing this world and only half guessing about the next.
I employ painting, drawing, printmaking and photography as a means for making visible the invisible realities of dreams, the subjective and subconscious experiences we all universally share as human beings. I believe art has an intrinsic, inherent and innate aesthetic order and power capable of unmasking the mystery of what it means to be truly human.
