Artist Statement: Since 1995 I have used the urban situation as a primary destination for my creative concepts through installations that merge with abandoned buildings and forgotten environments. This obsession with art in public spaces is a result of being introduced to the fine arts through graffiti, viewing all public space as a potential inspiration and location for my creativity. Often the subject matter in my work evolves in order to reflect the chosen location. The characteristics of certain neighborhoods such as the architecture, signage, local businesses, and socio-economic classes are all factors in that influence.
The placement of my work aims to transform the viewer’s understanding of the space through site-specific interventions that deconstruct preconceived perceptions. Unknowingly, the viewer’s concept of the space changes, the substance of the installation dictates how a space is perceived. Subverting excepted notions of public ownership without compromise, I utilize elaborate tactics to execute my works. This renegade approach allows me the freedom to select specific locations that correlate with my artistic objective….more here.
