I like to think of my most recent artworks as representations of striking organic shape-shifting forms of incredible vitality that have yet to find some type of order or composure in the space or environment that they have inhabited. They are conflicted entities indeed; misfits, in a sense that they can't live within this space, and they can't live without a space to inhabit – so they are sort of stuck in an on-going dilemma of reconfiguration; always searching for a sense of resolution. These dynamic forms are like the colors of a chameleon's skin: always changing and adapting to blend into their ever-changing surroundings or circumstances.
