My brain works in strange ways...at least so it seems to me. This has created situations that have affected my psychology and emotional development in a subtly complicated fashion. I am sure a trained psychologist would straighten me out in no time.

However, I'm an artist. This means two things:

1. I could never afford enough psychotherapy and
2. Most artists make art because of some trouble communicating...it's just easier for me to pound on steel.

In working I try to figure things out, specifically the process itself and what drives me to make art. Working with the premise that there is some commonality (a basic psychological premise) between human beings, I believe that a personal investigation of my creative process will lead to some, hopefully concrete, information about what drives us as thinking beings.
