| In my work I have consistently attempted to combine art historical references with vernacular influences. As a native of the rural south I have a tremendous respect for work that is made by hand and guided by the heart and eye. However as an educated artist I understand the importance of the mind in the process. To state my approach to the making of art in the simplest and most direct manner, I have tried to use these — the hand, the eye, the heart and the mind — to guide my work in both the making and the viewing.The sculptural objects and the installations that I have produced over recent years have referred to topics as varied as High Modernism, topical issues, the landscape – both physical and cultural, as well as music, jokes and cartoons. | ||||||||
