 Artist Statement
 
I have long been interested in creating work with a visual twist, some kind of artistic anomaly requiring the viewer to mentally complete the image. Applying the Gestalt principles, the images exist in as much for what is on the page as for what is not, resonating with the viewer with more potency as a result.
 
An often-recurring theme in my work is that of a large image, simple in nature but compiled of many smaller, intricately woven components. My goal is to produce images that – although improbable in reality – are completely plausible in the environments that I create for them.
