Artist Statement Excerpt, 1976
“The works are a part of A Complex Man Series completed from 1976-78. These portraits speak to the multiple sides of any given personality, the complexity of the human self; of man’s need to live in the physical world as well as his need to commune with the metaphysical and its powers.
When approaching my work I allow my ideas to come to me in the form of a feeling, this feeling develops into an action, and from this action an art piece is made. Just as in a dream world I do not stop to make judgments. In a dream one makes no decisions abut the right or correct feeling or images, one simple acts. I have practiced this approach to my pieces for several years and have developed it into a technique I call “hitting the page.”
