My work stems from my interest in the power of images.  From advertising and product design to museum pieces and iconography, we have long used imagery to attract, convert, and sell.   I see these modern and ancient examples as segments of a larger continuum of images.  I choose animal and robot imagery as stand-ins for traditional human subject matter.  Through these I explore issues like consciousness, free will, and mortality.
