About the artist:
Whenever I am asked for an artist's statement, I always think of a bit of advice I received as a freshman drawing student. Our wise old professor told us, when groping for profound and exotic subject matter, that we have enough subjects within a block of our house to keep us busy for a lifetime.
All the objects around me are so personal, collectively so telling of a lifetime of experience, that they are really self-portraits. I admit, not an original idea, but, just the same, I think anyone viewing a retrospective of my life's work would get a vivid image of my daily existence, and maybe consider the clutter in their own lives with greater significance.
