Artist Statement:

There is a core that lies deep within.  That is where the self disappears, and essence begins.  This essence connects past present and future in a moment.  It is from here that my are comes.   From found objects, products used and thrown away, I build these Angelic Star Dragons.  Ancient and future, but not human. 

 From 40 years of connected moments, came the Keys.  16 forms, drawn, sculpted, and painted transforming but never changing.  They are both a functional alphabet and the symbols of frequencies of consciousness.

 The masks are breadcrumbs from a spiritual journey that has lasted a lifetime and continues.  Snapshots of my ancestors, stolen and discarded. They are the angels who watch, the Orishas that cry, and the many other entities that teach, guide, and hope we finally learn.
