Artist Statement: Artists are always searching for the elusive "real". Especially in this era, the real is hard to find and even harder to recognize. take the city for example. it seems real enough, built of steel girder, solid concrete, and beautiful glass. The city is undeniably there, for the moment, but what is it that makes this city grow, and live? It's the idea of the city, the image of the pinnacle of human evolution and achievement. An image of a living, breathing creature, pumping commerce blood in human cells through concrete arteries.
