Artist's Statement
Thirst, for me, means a craving for something. I have interpreted this theme as another form of desire, and one that is
not necessarily satisfied easily. One’s thirst can be assuaged, but the satisfaction, by nature, is transitory and
manifest in many forms. My pieces in the show dwell on lust, power, addiction and neglect as they attempt to address
a void in human experience.
