Artist Statement:
"I am building a story that I want to tell. Because I use non-verbal means to deliver narrative, I must have a wider vocabulary. I know that we are all naked, and through allegorical symbolism, the nude form is given its most universal power. The often trivialized physical truths of our bodies are, in the end, what connect us." (Courtesy of Ghostprint Gallery)
