Is it possible for Painting today to be subversive? 

Is it possible to make paintings about process, rather than product?

Can a contemporary artist working “abstractly” make objects that avoid sentimentality?

Is it possible to explore maximum difference through repetition?

Essentially, the artist’s statement is defined by a declaration of what is interesting to the artist.
The conglomerate of the artist’s interests is a way to see how the artist’s mind works.
Each sentence of interest mirrors an aspect revealed in the work.
As with my work, I hoped to make my artist’s statement as tangible
as possible and steer away from the speculative and hypothetical.

Here's what I'm interested in:

I’m interested in that point where the illusion breaks down.
I’m interested in answers that are both true and false.
I’m interested in lying your way to the truth.
I’m interested in the fragility of the art object.
I’m interested in the theoretical possibility of creating endless compositions.
I’m interested in the study of sloppy craft.
I’m interested in joy.
