Our world is structured through traditions and expressed through ritual and symbolism. To effectively function in it, we need to negotiate a continuously evolving labyrinth of systems that complexify through usage. Increasingly, our systems intertwine with those of others, convoluting in combination to a point of critical mass wherein they undergo a shattering of the vestiges of familiarity. Ushered by ghosts, remnants of our past are fragmentary and partial, wholly invested in strains of belief.

Sequentially, the spirit of printmaking hides in plain sight an inventory of shards and fragments. Its art is chronicled within a kind of assemblage of particles often crowded so fully within systems that they cannot but shatter and start anew. Rumbling in life and convoluting in dogma, anomaly almost neurotically commands center stage. The enigma of such intensely complex and bewildering systems prompts a spontaneous lexicon of renewal with promising ground for resurrection. Ultimately, they wield the flinty currency of archeological myth in their intention to transcribe a narrative.
