Artist statement
Creativity is sterile, if action does not follow from it.
Any creative endeavor has the potential to alter the status quo and conjure up new perceptions and possibilities. Ideally, it reflects a society back onto itself to the point that previous boundaries move forward, painlessly and naturally. Creativity becomes a way of enticing, serenading and enchanting others. It is the tangible manifestation of the boundaries of an external world and one’s attempt to reach beyond it.
