His practice, mediums vary from drawing, painting, muraling and printmaking to experimenting with installation and three-dimensional studies. The line is his current notable element which he considers paradoxically fundamental and surreal based on its infinite capabilities. His work expresses truth in common forms turned ambiguous. His use of repetition distorts what one expects to be or be true. Are his forms containers or do they find themselves contained by culture?

My work is a study and practice of the exploration of the relationship between the sacred and the mundane. I am interested in rethinking repetition and how discipline as devotion can transform everyday ordinary activities into meaningful ritual. I investigate these themes through a movement meditation practice using Japanese ink on paper. The practice is a meditation in motion, a prayer on the page. Collectors of my work on paper, scroll series and handbound books are available at my storeXstudiO gallery in Buckhead, Bella Cucina. I am honored to be a Hambidge Fellow.
