ARTIST STATEMENT

Belief has always been a subject that interested me. I have always been a doubting Thomas and at the same time I have always felt jealousy for those who believed, unfailingly and without question.  I imagine there is comfort to be taken not only from faith but also but also from the ritual. I believe that ritualizing something gives it weight and importance, the same way as exploring something through art. Both acts ask you to dwell on something. The shrines that I have created act as both protector of burgeoning faiths and releasers of failing beliefs.
