A single image may be interpreted in the context of a whole work but it also may be understood as independent of other forms and stand on its own. It is important to understand that the meaning of the images vary and are not meant to be read in a fixed way. Every image has its basic associations but the relationships between images are more complex and often ambiguous. This is significant because the viewer's free association is similar to how I select and juxtapose images for my compositions. I reject the idea of fixed meaning because I believe that I can never fully capture the essence of my identity. There is no limit or hierarchy to what things I choose to render. Anything in my consciousness is available for exploration and may become themes in my work. back           next
