“Through my art practice the objective of the viewer is to translate or decode patterns from their concealed meaning into something comprehensive and full of significance. Each piece draws from ancient symbols or quotes to intrigue the audience and evolves by the act of discovery. Once the artwork reveals its underlying source this then encompasses additional layers and meanings to interact with the viewer. For a long time it has been known, solving puzzles or riddles, enhances our ability to access hidden information in our brain and apply it to knowledge stored in our memory. As a result, once we find the answer to a solution it can be a kind of clairvoyance to possibly provoke a transcendent reaction. As humans we connect through communication and often use ancient universal signs and symbols that transverse language barriers. Accordingly, my intention is through deciphering this ubiquitous information the audience will have an inherent connection to my artworks.
