“My drawings envision a dense mass of symbols and figures moving through a nether world, a psychological landscape like space. I believe many symbols are losing their potency as they are assimilated into the story telling mediums of popular culture. It appears that their meanings become lost or diffused, as they become an element in contemporary mass entertainment. I want my drawings to be enticing, engaging through their horror vacui surface. But I also hope that they suggest a feeling of insatiable melancholy, a sense that something intangible is lost in so much.”
