My Superhero Mission is to Re-Enchant the World through The Arts.
Because, let' s face it, these days it' s all too easy to feel disenchanted. It' s as though Magic and Wonder are dead and gone, encased in a tomb made of jaded cynicism and modern materialism. Magic and Wonder are still here of course, waiting to be acknowledged.
Re-Enchantment awakens us to Wonder, like the moment when you encounter the Wild or walk in step with the concrete pulse of the City. When you were just thinking of someone and they turn the corner. When the randomness of events fall into perfect order.
Re-enchantment is the attunement to the humming vibrancy of the World. It' s the feeling of a before unseen world emerging from a brush tip. Of peering into that unknown world, then having the feeling that something is peering back.
Re-Enchantment is the knowing that Magic is alive.
The trajectory of my work is simple, but the terrain is complex:
I make beautiful things to make the world more beautiful.
I make meaningful things to make the world more meaningful.
I make wonderful things to make the world more full of wonder.
I make the world I want to live in--Strange and Beautiful as it ever was.
