I was recently interviewed by @KING5Seattle (NBC) about my art & recent exhibition at the SAM Gallery in the Seattle Art Museum. I'm fairly certain my younger self would laugh & be proud if they saw it, but would also be wondering where's my BMX bike at?

For myself, I can think of personal stories for so many different cans: playing Asteroids and drinking Hawaiian Punch at a resort bar as a kid in the North Woods of Wisconsin, or drinking Liquid Death on a trip up and down the West Coast. They represent a time, place and/or experience. I paint the cans larger than life because the stories and ideas they hold are bigger than just 12oz.

What aluminum can reminds you of a story, or takes you to another place or time? The Canned Lightning paintings are an ongoing series of mine. The compositions are a convergence between memory, culture, and connection. The larger than life aluminum cans—suspended and adorned with plastic toy figures—cast lone shadows on monochromatic backgrounds. The “Lightning” in the title signifies the intangible force of personal and collective stories that can be infused in even the most ordinary object, transforming it into a vessel with resonance and meaning beyond the surface. #art #artist #painting

I try to stay in touch with the inner child - the Kid – as much as possible. The kid who wasn't old enough to care what his peers thought, or worried whether what he was creating made sense relative to physics, logic, or the multitudes of rules that surround us in everyday life. It is not about yearning for the past, but the attempt to continue to approach life with a sense of awe and wonder. An attempt to hold resilience and enthusiasm amidst failed experiments and momentous victories just the same. It's about retaining a willingness to metaphorically jump the bike off higher and higher jumps and be able to laugh at whatever does or doesn't break on the landing. For as long as possible. On Repeat.
