One of my faveorite memories from growing up was going into the church and getting an uplifting feeling as the censor swung by with its intrigueing aroma. But as I grew older the chuch and it's teachings seemed to grow more and more twisted.

I am a firm believer that all art has meaning, and although each piece may have had a specific meaning to the artist; I believe that when someone else looks at a piece they react to it, and subconsciously create their own meanings as the work applies to them. For example they discover something makes them uncomfortable or a new outlook on a subject they had not yet explored. That is one thing I hope to achieve with my work, I could care less if the meanings of my work are conveyed because those meanings are personal to me, it is worth more to me that my work invokes a reaction from the viewer and that they think about their own lives and take something personal away from the experience.
