My work centers upon the perceived usualness of the everyday. My imagery, however, explores the inner, subjective nature of perception, when the mundane hints at the profound, when observation no longer glosses over the sacredness of the here-and-now. It illuminates what is lost in the in-between moments and reveals the underlying essence or collectiveness of existence. I am concerned with finding a balance between the perception of the everyday and the perception of the spiritual. To illustrate this dichotomy of perception, I take on common occurrences, usual happenstances, and everyday ubiquity as my subject matter, but look upon them with a mindful, benevolent, even worshipful eye. The cognitive process of perception, of seeing from the inside out and vice-versa, is the driving force behind my work; to recognize the burden of each in-between, mundane moment of existence as taking on the weight of the world, is my ultimate goal.
