My first image of surrealism was revealed to me at an early age in the vision of a bowling ball lying alone in the desert. Since then, I have sought to create a personal universe through the mediums of Super 8 photoplays and enamel/oil paintings by combining a number of childhood influences: Memories of the fairy-tale like qualities in golden age horror films, the classic surrealist juxtaposition of unrelated objects, and the exoticism of psychedelia.
