I
In an over-explained and over-quantified culture with a focus on monetary gain I take solace in superstitions, divination, and folklore. Conceptually, these traditions support a more simplified existence that relies on time and the history of our culture. Visually, the language and forms of lore arise from mystic texts, constellations, and circular imagery such as mandalas and hex signs.

Making images has long been a humble past time; the concept of "fine art" has changed making images into a hierarchical battle and market. My work intends to serve as a tool of cultural and political criticism and observation, akin to our contemporary concept of folk art. To this end my work supersedes the art market and the label of fine art in its usefulness and purpose.

As above, so below originates in hermetic texts and refers to the link of one face of reality to another, specifically, the celestial and cosmic reality's reflection on our own structure of reality. This is a very difficult thing to see, as we are often too close to our structure of reality to see how it may overlap with another form and sense of reality; but it is something that I rely on and trust will carry on beyond my understanding and life.
