From the New York series

From the Avenue Nights series

From the Reflections series

Artist Statement (excerpt)

My artistic practice is engaged with exploiting the ambiguity of visual experience–the disparity between what we see and what we think we see creates a surprise of metaphors. I want to engage the viewer in the place where the collective intersects with the individual’s consciousness. The work draws from many different visual elements such as the role of the structural, the system, the technological, the biological, the ephemeral, the fabricated, and the decorative, and for me, it is a meditation on the complexity of experiencing an increasingly dense environment of elements.

I work here in New York City and find the people, places, and objects of the city are the building blocks I am using.Many of the photographs reflect an interest in certain types of actors and their visual performances: people as reflected in and by the architecture of the urban landscape, bits and pieces of patterns and textual material, and how it all expresses itself visually.

Warm Liquid Reliquary

Drown

Additive Inverse

Artist Statement (excerpt)

Where do the images come from? I cannot possibly know. I can only know that it is my task to make them.

I use a number of methods in the process of translation. Most of these are based on Surrealist techniques- automatic writing, recording of dreams, and some techniques like grottage.

When I start to make notes for the images, they are part words and part picture. They are never brought entirely into the conscious realm. When processing the film, I use several kinds of tools to mutilate and remove some sections of emulsion. I use sandpaper and various objects to scratch the negatives before printing. In processing some of the prints, I use additional chemicals like iodine bleach, or I apply paint to them. For some of the prints, I’ve used infrared film stock.

REST IN PIECES
Limited Edition Color Photograph of original sculpture by Carol Quint
10″ x 8″ photo

Artist Statement
The foundation of my work is the exploration of archetypal imagery. The images become surrogates for a broad range of emotional experience. They are grounded in symbols that elicit recognition on a subconscious level.

Currently, I am building sculptures that are in themselves artifacts, evidence of my efforts, which are now in the past.

My process involves creating, recycling and reconstruction. The content and function of these works reflects both a sense of time past and time present, qualities that are in the nature of a relic.

Artist Statement

I favor a compound approach to all visual problems that occupy me. By compound I mean multiform – I present my solution to a given problem in as many forms or through as many means as are available to me. These may be painting, printmaking, sculpting… The meaning of each completed piece is deferred until other pieces, materially and thematically linked to it, are completed. They form the understructure upon which their meaning could rest.

Not able to describe a piece outside of its progressing context I hesitate whenever I am asked for an “artist’s statement”. I cannot “state” my art’s meaning; its current subject, however, can be “stated” – it is rectilinear geometry.
