My early influences were in the 1970-71 Photo-realism movement while working with Ivan Karp at O.K. Harris in Soho as well as making figurative sculptures for Duane Hanson as his assistant.

 The islands have always been my womb and combining it’s imagery with realism and the “tools” of our time, has been the underlying thread of my work.

 The overlapping, askewed layering of images is a play on how our life’s events rarely segue into one another. Usually in the midst of current events it seems so chaotic and uneven. It is only later, in quiet retrospect, as we connect the “dots”, the events/ images have a certain continuity to the whole sequence.

 Initially these overlapping layers in open space have been in  2 dimensional space. I am currently exploring these sequences in 3D space and in different mediums.
