It’s important to me, to respect the giants of art and to learn from the lessons they have taught us. This principle forms the core and gives reason to my work. My body of work is an ongoing attempt to understand these lessons by subverting the principles of mechanics of art, particularly the methods by which we engage with art. The questions that I’m exploring will become more apparent as my work progresses and the themes are developed and elements are magnified.
I combine hardcore pornographic imagery and religious imagery and language, not to shock or offend, it is because I love that imagery, I find that there’s something very powerful and engaging about the imagery of hardcore pornography and religious imagery. Combining these conflicting aesthetics and concepts do result in images which are funny, and this is my intent, for my viewers to laugh and smile, to engage with my work. The core of my work is the ongoing attempt to learn from the lessons from the old masters, and there are particular aesthetics and concepts that I enjoy, and use in my work. These are the things that I love about art and my work is all about sharing that love with others.
