| Statement:
My most recent objects and images were conceived as conflations of my own personal idiosyncrasies regarding power and value. These investigations require that I discern the ruses and value relations of our postmodern condition in order to re-purpose a stratagem of my own that highlights the suspect nature and ideological parameters of convention. I’m interested in the terms of mediation between sign-value and use-value as they interpret the history of commodity. The work is aligned with what I’ve coined a ‘bumpkin aesthetic’—the methodological combination of the awkward and unsophisticated with ideals of artistic validity. ‘Bumpkin Aesthetic’ as a methodological combination has a conflicted nature that simultaneously conjures and inverts both high and low cultural practice in advocation of ambiguity, heterogeneity, and freedom.
This has recently evolved into ‘bumpkin dandy.’ The only difference being that I now wear white gloves while pushing the lawn mower.
