“My background is in history and literature; even my artwork is meant to be “read” in a very traditional sense. I am an avid collector of the past – old diaries, prints, found drawings, ephemera, photographs – all paper willing to be saved and passed on. I believe these are vessels of the Eternal Imagination and my work, like a cobbler’s or tinsmith’s or junkman’s, is to find these vessels, put my own small marks on them, and set them forth again into the Stream. I believe in the all-encompassing power of this Eternal Imagination, and that an artist’s job is to enter that Light gracefully, with humble offerings.”
