I believe most artists are digging around for some kinds of truth, some semblance of meaning – a deep desire to express or reveal some small, commonly held idea(s) or sensibilities that merit further reflection or closer introspection – and for visual artists, like myself, the silence and stillness, provide the best way to make these statements. I am not drawn to the many words that would be required and my work remains in its entirety, available for contemplation.
