The fundamental tone of my art is apocalyptic — it concerns the end and transformation of reality. My process is often highly affected, intuitive, and intense. I am searching for something, something immense and overwhelming, an intensity that instills awe. The works in this exhibition bring together premodern sacred art and postmodern mixed-media sculpture (combine). From apocalyptic sentiments, I have found a natural connection to sacred art, medieval altarpieces, and Bronze Age friezes. At the same time, I am fascinated by the random constellations found in urban environments, where different materials and fragmented things come together and play off each other. A kind of 'incidental combine.' Physical materials and things rich in meaning as a potent poetic material. Semiotic bundles – bouquets of meanings, metonymic and metaphoric connections. To face the end of the world is to rearticulate the world. To create one's own narrative, and one's own symbolism from scattered sources with the purpose of redrawing the connections between things, transforming them through unexpected encounters, and ultimately to see them in a new light. It is an open process, led by intuition, and like the premodern idea that God creates through one when following intuition, it is an aleatory process, working with the narrative motifs it is given. The aleatory is a random but meaningful action. Like laying tarot cards. The spread is random, but the cards speak to each other and open a symbolic world. Likewise in creation: draw a line, and a dichotomy emerges; soon, a semiotic world of fluid meaning follows. Finally, through a painstaking process of interpretation and refinement of the material the finished work is ultimately born.
