My work addresses the concept of the unknown, and the impossibility of fully
understanding any one thing or subject. Rather than revealing clues that may
lead to a conclusion or answer that can limit its meaning, I attempt to
conceal the specific source of inspiration that motivates me to create my
work. There are indications that this influence is of great importance, but
the origin is kept secret. The viewer’s curiosity may also be heightened by
the dramatic use of light, and the characteristic of concealment implied by
the images of containers and the boxes that they are housed in. Questions
arise ahead of answers.
I
intend this withholding of information, and the resulting confusion or
slight frustration, in order to prevent presumptuous behavior, emphasizing
the fact of life, that one cannot know everything.
