Artist Statement
Art is the expression of a brain onto a canvas. I use art, usually drawing or painting, to represent something that can not be spoken.
There is a coil of pink yarn resting quietly inside of me. Sometimes when the sky turns that certain shade of gray, or I notice a pupil dilate or I hold a web of frozen water, a hand draws itself from the pits of my stomach and pulls the thread outwards. Often, after the first threads are pulled, I must tug a bit to keep them coming, but they move outwards nonetheless. The pink yarn manifests itself through my fingertips and curls — collides in an explosion of expression — onto blank space. Sometimes I cannot control the coil, and it comes unraveling out of me without allusion and spills until it is satisfied. Beyond my hands will lie the mess of lines and symbols of something other, that can never be spoken or danced to — a complicated array of marked molecules forming the expression of the Divine Universe, pushed through the meat-grinder of my brain.
