Arts Thread

IN MY RECENT WORK I HAVE BEEN EXAMINING THE VALUE OF LIFE. MY PIECES ARE THEMATICALLY DRIVEN FROM SOCIAL ISSUES THAT PLAGUE PLACES IN WHICH I HAVE LIVED. I AM ALSO CONCERNED WITH TRAUMATIC SOCIAL INJUSTICES IN THE INTERNATIONAL SPHERE SUCH AS, POLITICALLY IRRESPONSIBLE POSITIONS LEAD TO CRIMINAL ACTIONS OR INACTIONS THAT END IN DISASTER. 

MY ARTWORKS ARE STAND-ALONE SCULPTURES OR SCULPTURES SYNTHESIZED INTO INSTALLATIONS. I FREQUENTLY INCORPORATE TWO-DIMENSIONAL ART SUCH AS DRAWINGS ON PAPER, PRINTS AND TEXT-BASED WORKS INTO THESE ENVIRONMENTS. ALTHOUGH MY PIECES CONCEPTUALLY ADDRESS CONFOUNDING MAJOR ISSUES OF CURRENT AFFAIRS, THEY NEVER CEASE TO BE PHILOSOPHICAL QUESTS ABOUT LIFE, DEATH AND EVOLUTION OPERATING ON BOTH PERSONAL AND UNIVERSAL LEVELS. IN VISUAL LANGUAGE, MY WORKS ARE A CONSTANT SEARCH FOR MATERIALS AND COMPOSITIONS. I AM INTERESTED IN THE VARIOUS SYMBOLISMS THAT EACH MATERIAL MAY ALREADY BEAR, AS WELL AS THE SYMBOLISM IT MIGHT DEVELOP THROUGH MY OWN PROCESSING AND PLACEMENT.
