I am a printmaker who rarely makes editions, preferring to work out my ideas in series of unique prints, in artist’s books, and in installations. I use portraiture to explore aspects of my own identity. Drawing upon found images, printmaking allows me to remix aspects of our visual culture, taking images apart recombining, and recontextualizing them. I employ bold subtractive drawing style as suggest psychological states, evoke character, and imply narratives. A close viewing reveals layers of vivid color and pattern that alternate reveal and conceal. My work envisions a new male identity: non-toxic, heroic, inclusive, unafraid of rainbows, confident, strong, and passionate.
