Revelations
II
"Every
day, we are surrounded by ordinary objects which would, considered
in another light, cease to be ordinary. This is the ultimate
purpose of all art - to transcend the everyday and offer a new
perspective for consideration. As an artist, I seek, specifically,
to make you question your own reaction to my work. Do you think
you know the subject matter? Do you think you know the medium? How
can you know? Did I tell you? Was I lying? Are you sure? Does it
matter?"
