The human experience often treads a fine line between being comfortable and uncomfortable, magnetic and repulsive, honest and dishonest. It is these perceived opposites that draw me to explore the line that blurs one extreme into another and to find the common ground that exists among all things. This exploration is meant to challenge our learned responses- not necessarily with the intention of changing any minds but simply as a way to heighten our ability to truly perceive how closely related opposites can be. The human experience is ideal for this type of exploration. Not only is it a physical conglomeration of chemical reactions that are constantly discarding and rebuilding, a process that seems contradictory, it is also a psychic processing of ideas and thoughts that are evolving, growing and ultimately getting tossed aside. On one level this process is revered and treasured as can be seen in our cultural obsession with youth. However, the maturation of this same process, old age and death, is abhorred and avoided. My aim is to capture this process of growth, fermentation and ultimately disintegration with the intention of highlighting the beautifully interconnected nature of all of these processes.
