"Mystery and ambiguity within the technical, aesthetic, and conceptual practice of my work allows the viewer to investigate based on his/her own set of ideas determined by their own personality and development hopefully less bias than the "artistic experience" deemed original or noteworthy by critics, curators, dealers, and collectors. I feel the usual technical dissection of aesthetic and conceptual aspects of my work is unnecessary at this time, for the visual experience should overcome the written analysis."
