Artist's Statement for the Phantom Gallery OceansideArtist's Statement for the Phantom Gallery Oceanside Artist Statement
Isolation can feel entrapping or freeing. Narratives With Isolation uses visual metaphors and symbols to create in the viewer's perception and emotions an experience that includes isolation. But isolation is not the whole story — hence narratives with isolation, not narratives about isolation.

 

Lone BenchLone BenchLone Bench is a scene from Point Lobos near Carmel, CA. It is very symbolism/metaphor rich with its lone bench, deep forest, diverging paths, hollow trunk, and subdued lighting. As edited, it could be an illustration of Robert Frost’s The Road Not Taken; “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both.” Easy to imagine one sitting on its lone bench and having such thoughts. Example: You the viewer are standing on one path, looking at two paths diverging ahead. The one you select becomes one with the one you’re on, and the alternative gets left in the unknown of the one life we have to live.
“Life is choice” — Kurt Lightfoot
