John 8:12

This page serves as both a personal testimony and a deeper look into the concepts behind my work. John 8:12 in the New Testament speaks about a remedy for those who “walk in darkness,” and the idea that a path exists to help us if we are willing to look for it. All of us experience forms of darkness, usually unique to who we are and our own set of circmustances.

While modern religious culture often associates darkness with moral failure or sin, it can also describe anxiety, depression, confusion, grief, mental or emotional sickness, or difficult seasons that leave us drained. From that place, the world offers endless solutions: therapy, medication, workshops, supplements, books, and systems promising relief. One may eventually wonder, does the cost to access a possible resolution always rely on a credit card swipe, muscling through it, and finally getting the ingredients right?

Or, can we actually experience a real and interactive relationship with God that offers an illuminated pathway and meaningful living?

My work reflects the journey of God’s illumination, in the form of concepts, technology, materials, art, and craftsmanship. I take what is abstract and without meaning, then shape it to create a piece that reflects the narratives and metaphors that I and others have personally experienced, things that can happen to anyone who is looking for a pathway.
