My art experiments with familiar patterns, easily discernible as human, in an unfamiliar way. These faces, along with the emotion they communicate to us, are distorted and interwoven into amalgams, cascading outwardly from the center. My work plays with shifting forms that alter at every distance and angle from which they are viewed. I call my style, the infinite texture. Several powerful motivations have driven me to continue to pursue the method I first stumbled upon, 17 years ago. I have not deviated from the style since, compelled rather to explore and develop it further.

I became fixated with the concept of creating art that acts as a psychological mirror to the audience. I draw with the intention of distorting the eye’s focus, to create art that is seen differently by anyone who looks at it. The patterns that come forward from the cacophony of faces, as well as the emotion they carry, are only completed by the projections of the onlooker. Faces of fear, joy, and anxiety fill the same spot. They share the same eyes, same mouth and nose, what comes to the surface is often a reflection of the viewer, a mirror to the self.

My aim in creating these reflections is to stir in my audience a sense of compassion. To suspend prejudgements in the presence of what lies beneath the surface. Like my shimmering mosaics of incongruous parts, people are also full of contradiction and beauty. To focus on one small aspect of them is to allow the entire picture of their character to disappear. Only when we step back does the full scene come to view, allowing our eyes to adjust. In seeing our own complicated nature displayed before us, it may become easy to shake off the bitter condemnation we feel towards others. My aim is to show the dynamic, mercurial and beautiful nature of us all, always breaking apart and reforming into something new, something to be discovered.
