My Profession: Art
About my work:
Compelled by the controlling role rhythm can play in an often chaotic environment, it is my goal to provide series of concentrated images, forms and when possible audio/visual experiences that will describe or depict discoveries of simple, rhythmic elements. A search for essential and orderly properties of organic forms, patterns, and systems directs my explorations where collected material is dissected and recorded as stylized data. The outcome of these exercises in observation and dissection as thematic intent has become apparent in all my work including drawing, printmaking, bookwork, and ceramics, as well as multi-media installation and performance art.

Currently, my studio is in the Strand Theater Building in Montevallo, AL where I am developing new bodies of work for 2010-2012 exhibitions, installations and performances. “drawing mountains” is an ongoing series of pen and ink drawings, watercolor mono-serigraphs and unique book works inspired by photographs of mountain ranges, developed in collaboration with the Mountain Maker Cohorts FaceBook Group in 2009. In the fall of 2010, I began work on a series of Lite Brite® drawing installations for Spring 2011 exhibitions under the title, “Ancient Night Walker's Journey to the Ani-yun'wiya Elohino Crystalline Core.“ Since January of 2010, HoWaYaDa, a collaborative group featuring Larry Hoagland, Brad Davis, Walker Yancey, and myself, has produced two interactive installations and seven performances exploring experimental sound, assemblage, electronics, language manipulation and playful game exercises. In addition, my “pen and ink studies” and “orbis poculli” (atmosphere fired ceramic pinch pots) series, as well as further installation and performance explorations are in process.

Since graduating from the University of Montevallo with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in 1994, I have continued to work as an interdisciplinary artist, allowing concepts to filter between various mediums, referencing one to another. Along with production and exhibition of my studio work, I am co-partner of STRANDED ART cooperative (also in the Strand Theater Building) and at times curate exhibitions and performance programming, design graphics for myself and other companies, and coordinate/instruct special project art classes for children and adults.
