Art is not only about something, it is about something meaningful. An artwork’s meaningfulness begins with its importance to the artist, whose urgency, passion, and sincerity --without arbitrariness, narcissism or sentimentality-- leaves a perceptible imprint.
    The experience of art is an interaction between the viewer and the artist. Whether the artwork functions as the artist’s surrogate, wake, or messenger, the viewer’s experience is ultimately interpersonal. Art, in its varied forms, constitutes the vital intersection of the social and the personal, the political and the profound.
    Sex and the City (concrete, wood, and oil, 2005) is a small block of concrete slathered in pink paint, its rough wooden form serving as a frame. Concrete is used to refer to the ideals that inspire its use: efficiency, usefulness, and compromise. Pink oil paint is the counterpoint, asserting the fleshy, ethereal, and poetic in the space of the cold, solid, and lifeless.
