he primary focus of my creative exploration over the past 40 years has been formed around histories, mythologies, religious cosmolo-gies, ancient beliefs in the afterlife, and the tools and vehicles need-ed to navigate these mysterious terrains. This search has afforded me the opportunity to use art as the lens to explore the mysteries of

who I am -- or rather, who I may think I am as I stand peering into the Abyss, or gazing upward toward the Stars for clues.

Some of the themes that keep reappearing in my work are: betrayal of innocence -- particularly brutality toward the children; the natural sciences and our rela-tionship to nature; archaic technologies; medicine, and ideas about healing. The investigation ultimately leads to unexpected discoveries of beauty in all of its forms and stages throughout the cycles of life -- from conception to death and decay.

The animal kingdom is also a very large part of this story. What is more beautiful than an animal, or an animal’s skeleton -- that amazing framework that supports life? But of all the mysteries that have engaged me, I would say that flight -- and the role that flight has played in mythologies across virtually all cultures -- is at the core of my curiosity and my imagination.

If all of the life’s work were brought together in one place, it would ap-pear that all the pieces would be part of the same story: my story, our story, the human story.

Creating the work enables me to connect with something larger than my own personal experience. If someone who sees the work has a similar experience, then I’ve done my job.
