My work embodies entirely the definition of the word pattern in order to delve deeper to find meaning and influence of a repitition that continually recycles and upgrades periods of culture and thought throughout not only history, but back and forth between factions within that history.

I have taken to the medium of oil paint to translate my own cultural perceptions...my perception of the way the world works and feels, with an evolution stemming from a learned brand of modern capitalism. By piecing the construct of what a pattern is, literally or figuratively, mathmatically and culturally, I am able to unravel motivation for the current works. These patterns are explored through a reflexive model originating from a certain dialogue that can be found between the arts and design, historically and contemporarily. A constant beg, borrow and steal. It began as simply noticing compositions revolving between art,fashion and design in a converse exchange and eventually realized itself in a project involving the very dialogue I was piecing together. Another interest in my work is the defining of space, and juxtaposing its definition while physically using the medium as compositional sarcasm.
