ARTIST STATEMENT: All my work is worthless. I use art to explore ideas about my world, philosophies of ontology and our peculiar place in the world, and talk shit about art. I paint with a loose hand on any surface that I can get a hold of. I tear into canvases and cut them up. If I decide that a piece doesn’t need to be destroyed, I build with the leftovers and reuse the work later. My work revolves around four practices; paint, sculpture, performance, and thought. I have three major reasons that I work; The material, the idea, and the creation. When these three things begin to interact with a concept, I call what results (before it is destroyed or repurposed yet again) my art.
