I am concerned with:

Beauty, in and of itself and as a means of communication

The aesthetics of Chaos vs Order

The aesthetics of Self vs Other

The fact that the Self is a type of order that is established over the chaos of the Other

The heroism of painting qua the struggle for meaning

My own personal narrative feeding in to the meta-narrative of History and vice versa

The hopelessness of our ever understanding one another

The fact that the art object has a life of its own and people will attribute meaning/s to it regardless of my intention

I like to play with that fact

My intention is to create an art object that does not lend itself to easy interpretation and is therefore an analogue of the mystery, opacity and impenetrability of Self
