Language: letters, words, labels, and definitions. All these help me understand the world that I live in and make it possible for me to communicate to others. Often times words fail when I cannot express an idea, feeling, or message accurately to another person. It would seem that language, which I thought was so exacting and infallible, is full of craters that allow for miscommunication. Representational imagery can be considered the visual "words" that I use in my artwork. The marks that I make form images,which in relationship to other images, create "sentences" to express stories and ideas. However, just like words, a group of drawn lines that create representations close off possibilities to see them as being anything else. At the same time, these representations open the doors for communication because of the intense two-dimensional printed way they are constructed. In my artwork, I investigate how images simultaneously and accurately describe an idea but in reality physically, visually, and conceptually offer only the illusion of aaccurate description.
