Starting with a compelling image, the artist cuts portions out in evocative patterns and raises them away from the surface. The image itself is thusly transformed from static record of one moment to a layered recollection of time and place more in synch with the world of dreams and memories than in the flat surfaces of photography exhibitions.
He makes this art in hopes to be a sponsor of thought. These works call us to stop and regard, to sit and absorb, while time, light, and shadow wash over them. In so doing, light transforms not only his works, but also the light by which we see our society.
Each piece’s signed signature is accompanied by the razor blade used to make that sculpture.
