Most of the imagery used in my work holds true to that seen in "urban" art and to similar qualities of the graphic use of subject and composition to that seen in zines, or small magazines. The theology behind my use of layers is grown from the roots of graffiti and is usually applied to my work in the same way of letting one layer dry completely before I begin another.
As an artist, I strongly support small communities in the in the many places of my residence. The undersized communities and secret societies of the art world are where all levels of growth are encouraged and new processes are accepted. The resource of others and the art they produce are two of the greatest influences on the decisions for the work I make. I support these communities because they remain individual to their own styles and could eventually become the next developed school to represent American art for the generations to come.
My primary focus in the art I make today revolves around layers and the properties they display in the many compositions of art and how those properties represent what we know as the many aspects of reality. A layer is a product established of it’s own time and place; holding the responsibility of either creating or dismantling balance with in its mass. This mass can be recognized on the broad range from an individual level, represent a small or large community, or even the intricacy of the global scale and beyond. Either way, a layer must go over the pre-existing and eventually become overruled by another at any time. All other things we know to be standards must begin and must end. The repetition of the process when building layers can be seen as pattern but recognize layers in one’s work to identify that all things of value or balance must abide to the entropic laws of the present, but as the artist I hold power of my creation with the decision I choose to make.
