I sit disconnected, disengaged, detached and numb, as acts of inhumanity occur - anger, cruelty, death, fear, greed, hatred, indifference, injustice, intolerance, uncontrolled power and war confront me. I read the newspaper. I talk on the phone. I listen to the radio. I watch television. I utilize the computer. I sit in a room and everyone is talking but me.

My interests are in the human condition. The works are symbolic representations of us and the world in which we live. Objectivity is evident in the structure of the pieces, but this apparent detachment is a paradox relative to the highly charged content.

I sit disconnected, disengaged, detached and numb, as acts of inhumanity occur - anger, cruelty, death, fear, greed, hatred, indifference, injustice, intolerance, uncontrolled power and war confront me. I read the newspaper and perceive me. I talk on the phone and converse with me. I listen to the radio and hear me. I watch television and see me. I utilize the computer and it interacts with me. I sit in a room and no one is listening but me.
