Statement
 
Lately my work has come out of my own observations, mostly from the trails and back roads outside the city where I ride my bicycle. These rural and suburban areas frequently offer up stark examples of the human and natural worlds colliding, or maybe it’s co-existing, but I often find the union a bit strange and slightly uncomfortable.
