| I enjoy the allure of the unknown. When it becomes discovered, it loses some of its beauty. The unknown creates fear, but there is also something so seductive about it. I try to bring some of that into the forms of my work, an almost pulchritudinous to somewhat bizarre compositions. On a side note, with that said... I enjoy being an unknown artist to some extent. |
