My perceptions of certain past movements in art (most notably Northern Renaissance and Islamic Painting) coupled with idiosyncrasy (meaning that I often have difficulty accounting for my attraction to some forms ... and not to others) and compulsions about visual and technical order lead me to making some rather odd pictures. I organize visual elements in traditional ways emphasizing formal aspects of structure and presentation, except that for the sake of irritation, I often missalign or at least compromise divergent perspective systems of the objects depicted. The range of and orientation to subjects within individual pictures sometimes produce unexpected associations, and the compilation, arrangement and execution (and material quality) combine to hint at symbolic interpretations.
