"Of the sea, but not in the sea. The meaning of the shell is heightened by its floating above an image from which it came. It is the lasting homage to a life lived, and at times, a life given. A marker of days past, a physical reminder of now. Like the clouds above, and the mountains above them, our reality is not limited by what we can see, or know, but rather by the immensity of what we cannot see and do not know."
"The mountain is a new motif for me. A true testament to the age of the earth, these rugged monoliths cut into the sky. Surrounded by a sea of clouds, the giant rocks are suspended, almost defying concepts of our knowledge. Inspired by Marsden Hartley's paintings of mountaintops, my stylized take on these otherworld landscapes is meant to remind us how we most often experience these moments through other lenses and not our own eyes."
"I have long used the image of the albatross, with its endurance and endless flight without touching land, as a stand-in for the artist. The First Day of History depicts this bird mid-flight, in front of a wall of crashing waves. No land, no sky in sight. The title hints at something grand about to happen, with or without the subject's knowledge. The timeless idea of everyday, of all days. What's the meaning of a week when you don't know the year?"
