If extracted from this stylistic gestalt and left to stand alone, any single piece might require a bit of educated exposition to account for its home-made quality. Early On I realized that the purely visual experience of an artwork was somehow insufficient. I wanted to go beyond the purely optical and include tactical qualities as well. My works aren't things one just looks at, but things that the viewer is invited to handle. There have been many theories of art that try to break down the border between art and the world, but I don't find such attempts to be particularly meaningful.
Art remains art.
I really see my work as quite compatible with the l'art pour 'lart philosophy. And, in fact, once they have entered this realm they are art.
