The origins of my art began because of my own guileless nature as a child. I was very innocent and sensitive and though much of the literature and art that I loved warned against the dishonest nature of social intercourse I still believed in much of what I was taught in public school and at the church I was made to go to.

Much too slowly I became aware that information given to us as children was cleaned up or invented entirely in order to protect innocent minds against unpleasant truths or perhaps more realistically, to indoctrinate the ignorant into behaving in a much more controllable manner.

As a young man I felt incredibly hoodwinked. I was furious and my work was saturated with this undiluted anger. My hope was to expose the untruths and half truths through music and art. The art was confrontational, abusive and not very good or effective. The concept of selling out my idealism and the arrogant idea that only a very few had seen through the nature of our society kept a wall up between my work and the public I was trying to reach. As I have matured as an artist and began to expose the corner of the truer nature of the languages of sculpture, music and ultimately movement, my work has begun to create a dialogue rather than rail at beliefs that still exist that have no actual basis in reality. Ultimately the goal of my work is to explore the nature of truth, perhaps find some tiny shreds of it that a viewer can discover with me, perhaps even discover for me as I create art that is meant to be inclusive rather than to attack the persons I hope to communicate with. It is not our faults as members of our community that we continue to be lied to. I feel it is our responsibility to communicate awareness and as an artist, to communicate in a manner that is effective. My work is an exploration of this responsibility.
