DIY (Do It Yourself) (left) is a
seemingly unfi nished self-portrait
featuring building blocks as its
structure. Th ey symbolize the
creative construction process of
the artist. Th e blocks aren’t yet
assembled in logical order; some are
angled, others are out of sequence.
Th ere’s disorder, but the possibility
of alignment is evident. Th e clock
references are an iminent reminder
of both the passing of time and the
need for order in not only the artist,
but also the viewer.
Most of my paintings begin with
a concept, but while working on them,
I’m sometimes not quite sure as to
why I chose that particular subject
matter—or why I even included the
chosenitems.
