Artist Statement:

Some of my recent work has been focused on play and the importance of it, as I feel that we have entered an age that takes itself with more portentous seriousness than ever before, culture has more or less ceased to be played. Times like these were the significance of being 'earnest' is defined by and exhausted in the negation of 'play'. Earnest is simply 'not playing' and nothing more.
The significance of 'play' on the other hand, is by no means defined or exhausted by calling it 'not earnest' or 'not serious'.Play is a thing by itself. The play concept as such is of a higher order than seriousness.Seriousness seeks to exclude play, whereas play can very well include seriousness.
