Painting: Fabric Series

I love playing with "pacing" in my work by combining rapid-processes with painfully slow ones. In this series I would start with a photo transfer on delicate upholstered fabric, and then work over the surface with sand, gold leafing, resin, and thread.

Artist Motor City

Painting: Motor City Series

Born the son of an automobile engineer, I spent most of my youth in industrial cities, surrounded by the abundance of rusting infrastructure and bellowing factories. I started to see a beauty in the chaos, a sublime mix of decay, anthropomorphism, and monumental scale. often used industrial materials such as tar and grease to add a pungent odor to the imagery.

Artist Costume

Painting: Costume Series

I have always been fascinated with the mechanisms of disguise; specifically in regard to hero worship, fanaticism, identity, and sexuality. Formula 1 racing provided an ideal landscape for fantasy, so when I found myself assembling race car driver costumes and paintings, I began to draw comparisons between my subject matter and process - was "The Artist " a costume too?
