"While music trades in the world of emotions, literature in human relationships, art trades in the world of appearances. The relationships between matter and memory, space and time are means by which the fugitive nature of appearances can be held, suspending the temporal in the concrete. What I find most intriguing is the possibility of creating images which while maintaining a forceful sense of presense do not rely on naturalistic or photographic representations of form. Painting is and always has been an exploration into the metaphysical architecture of human consciousness."
